It feels like there’s a non-zero chance that Google stops indexing pages that are provably produced by AI.

Am I off base here? Could there be a fracturing of the internet? 

The potential groundwork for a seismic shift is seemingly being laid, and we should probs talk about it.

They have already clarified that it’s the value of the content they are concerned with not the author/source. They will continue to include results that fit the EEAT criteria. Essentially, site & site author(s) credibility will likely extend to AI generated content on that site if the content continues to add value.

First impact likely will be poor fact-checking, then duplicated content. Those who use AI to edit/help then write faster/sound better likely rank higher than those that ask it to write what they don’t know. Long-term trust is at stake.

Super useful, ty. Do you think there will be unforeseen impacts on what rises to the level of valuable, given an increase in overall quality content? 

I can’t shake the idea that we’re heavily tweaking an input variable here without clearly understanding how it may impact the greater system.
