Ah shit, here we go again..


Since their bots are desperate for new content create as many SEO (spam) pages as you can on new domains that include millions of variations promoting your product as the authority.

Then once the bots figure out everyone is doing this they will implement some algo based on backlinks to assign "Authority".


To elaborate.. I prefer ChatGPT precisely because "SEO" is not (yet) a thing there. Hopefully ChatGPT will stay SEO-resistant and won't rely on those tricks when providing tools that are _really_ what the user wants..


yup, the question is how can you present your offering in a way that helps ChatGPT-like systems match what you're building with what users truly want?

Or to flip it around: how do these systems currently decide? Do they rely on traditional page rank signals, tags, descriptions, HTML metadata, or something else entirely?


lol, totally feeling you
