AI-Generated Content & SEO 🤖

Many of you may not know this, but I've been doing search engine optimization (SEO) for over a decade.

And I am a ghostwriter for Semrush, the world's leading SEO software. (Shh, don't tell anyone 🤫)

My most recent article on AI-Generated content & how it shows up on Google just got published.

TL;DR: Not only CAN AI content rank on Google - it is taking over. At least 19% of all content on the first page of Google is suspected to be AI-generated, and that is rapidly increasing.

Here's what I didn't say in the article...

This AI-generated content is often FALSE. As more AI-generated content with "hallucinations" (the AI pulling random BS facts with no source; i.e. lies) begins to rank on Google, AI chatbots will continue to pull "facts" from other AI-generated content with hallucinations.

At a certain point, this means that AI will both hallucinate AND pull false "facts" from the internet from other AI hallucinations. This is called "AI slop" - and it's becoming a real problem.

Check out this fascinating video by Kurzgesagt on the impacts of AI slop on the internet.

What do you guys think? Will AI slop take over and ruin the internet? Or will people find a way - as they often do - to adapt through this massive change in the way the world works?

And will you be using AI to help you generate content for your website?

AI slop will ruin the interwebz! 🤖

People will figure this out! Where there's a will, there's a way 💙

I have no idea. I'm just along for this wild ride. 🎢
