But instead of simply focusing on distinguishing AI from human content, the leading search engine wants to highlight valuable content that benefits users, regardless of whether humans or machines produced it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-meta-serif-pro scene:font-noto-sans scene:text-base scene:md:text-lg font-normal text-lg md:text-xl md:leading-9 tracking-px text-body gg-dark:text-neutral-100\">Google is meanwhile investing in AI across its products, including an <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2023\/07\/19\/business\/google-artificial-intelligence-news-articles.html\" class=\"sc-adb616fe-0 ePvUAp\">AI-powered news generator service<\/a> along with its own AI chatbot <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/decrypt.co\/139953\/google-bard-openai-chatgpt-ai-wars\" class=\"sc-adb616fe-0 ePvUAp\">Bard<\/a> and new experimental search features. Updating its guidelines, then, also aligns with the company&#8217;s own strategic direction.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-meta-serif-pro scene:font-noto-sans scene:text-base scene:md:text-lg font-normal text-lg md:text-xl md:leading-9 tracking-px text-body gg-dark:text-neutral-100\">The search leader still aims to reward original, helpful, and human content that provides value to users.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-meta-serif-pro scene:font-noto-sans scene:text-base scene:md:text-lg font-normal text-lg md:text-xl md:leading-9 tracking-px text-body gg-dark:text-neutral-100\">&#8220;By definition, if you&#8217;re using AI to write your content, it&#8217;s going to be rehashed from other sites,&#8221; Google Search Relations team lead John Mueller <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/SEO\/comments\/15r8hc6\/comment\/jw93nuh\/\" class=\"sc-adb616fe-0 ePvUAp\">noted<\/a> on Reddit.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"sc-2ed2039d-2 hmmXcn gg-dark:text-white scene:font-itc-avant-garde-gothic-pro scene:font-light\" style=\"margin-top:2em;text-align:left;padding-bottom:16px;margin-bottom:16px;border-bottom:1px solid #dfe2e4\">To SEO or not to SEO?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"font-meta-serif-pro scene:font-noto-sans scene:text-base scene:md:text-lg font-normal text-lg md:text-xl md:leading-9 tracking-px text-body gg-dark:text-neutral-100\">The implications are clear: repetitive or low-quality AI content could still hurt SEO, even as the technology advances. Writers and editors must still play an active role in the process of content creation. The lack of human involvement is risky because AI models have a tendency to hallucinate. Some of the errors may be funny or <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/searchengineland.com\/microsoft-brandon-hunter-useless-ai-obituary-432008\" class=\"sc-adb616fe-0 ePvUAp\">offensive<\/a>, but some of them can cost millions of dollars and even<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/decrypt.co\/152060\/ai-is-literally-trying-to-kill-you-with-this-grocery-store-app\" class=\"sc-adb616fe-0 ePvUAp\"> put lives in danger<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-meta-serif-pro scene:font-noto-sans scene:text-base scene:md:text-lg font-normal text-lg md:text-xl md:leading-9 tracking-px text-body gg-dark:text-neutral-100\">SEO, or search engine optimization, refers to strategies aimed at improving a website&#8217;s rankings in search engines like Google. Higher rankings lead to increased visibility and traffic. SEO experts have long tried to &#8220;beat&#8221; search algorithms by <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.semrush.com\/blog\/improve-seo\/\" class=\"sc-adb616fe-0 ePvUAp\">optimizing content<\/a> to match the Google algorithm.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-meta-serif-pro scene:font-noto-sans scene:text-base scene:md:text-lg font-normal text-lg md:text-xl md:leading-9 tracking-px text-body gg-dark:text-neutral-100\">Google seems to be penalizing the use of AI for simple content summarization or rephrasing, and has its own ways of detecting AI-generated content.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-meta-serif-pro scene:font-noto-sans scene:text-base scene:md:text-lg font-normal text-lg md:text-xl md:leading-9 tracking-px text-body gg-dark:text-neutral-100\">\u201cThis classifier process is entirely automated, using a machine-learning model.\u201d Google says, meaning it\u2019s using AI to tell good and bad content apart.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-meta-serif-pro scene:font-noto-sans scene:text-base scene:md:text-lg font-normal text-lg md:text-xl md:leading-9 tracking-px text-body gg-dark:text-neutral-100\">However, part of the challenge is that detecting AI content often relies on imprecise tools. OpenAI itself <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/decrypt.co\/149826\/openai-quietly-shutters-its-ai-detection-tool\" class=\"sc-adb616fe-0 ePvUAp\">removed its own AI classifier<\/a> recently, acknowledging its inaccuracy. AI detection is hard because models are actually trained to \u201cappear\u201d human, so the confrontation between content generators and content discriminators will never end because AI models only get more powerful and accurate as time goes by.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-meta-serif-pro scene:font-noto-sans scene:text-base scene:md:text-lg font-normal text-lg md:text-xl md:leading-9 tracking-px text-body gg-dark:text-neutral-100\">Further, training AI with AI-generated content generations can lead to <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/decrypt.co\/144271\/ai-learning-from-ai-is-the-beginning-of-the-end-for-ai-models\" class=\"sc-adb616fe-0 ePvUAp\">model collapse<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-meta-serif-pro scene:font-noto-sans scene:text-base scene:md:text-lg font-normal text-lg md:text-xl md:leading-9 tracking-px text-body gg-dark:text-neutral-100\">Google says it is not trying to reproduce AI-generated data, but rather identify it and reward human-written content accordingly. This approach is more akin to training a specialized AI discriminator, where an AI model tries to create something that looks natural and another model tries to distinguish whether the creation is natural or artificial. This process is already in use in\u00a0generative adversarial networks (GANs).<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-meta-serif-pro scene:font-noto-sans scene:text-base scene:md:text-lg font-normal text-lg md:text-xl md:leading-9 tracking-px text-body gg-dark:text-neutral-100\">Standards will continue to evolve as AI proliferates. For now, Google appears focused on content quality rather than separating human\u00a0 contributions from those created with machines.<\/p>\n<div class=\"my-4 border-b border-decryptGridline\">\n<div class=\"text-left p-8 md:py-12 md:px-12 max-w-prose relative\"><span class=\"border-t-4 border-l-4 w-4 h-4 md:border-t-[6px] md:border-l-[6px] md:w-6 md:h-6 border-decryptPurple dark:border-decryptNeon gg-dark:border-cc-pink-2 absolute top-4 left-4 md:top-6 md:left-6\" \/><span class=\"border-t-4 border-l-4 w-4 h-4 md:border-t-[6px] md:border-l-[6px] md:w-6 md:h-6 border-decryptPurple dark:border-decryptNeon gg-dark:border-cc-pink-2 absolute rotate-180 bottom-4 right-4 md:bottom-6 md:right-6\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"font-akzidenz-grotesk font-bold text-xl md:text-3xl mb-6 md:text-center gg-dark:text-white\">Stay on top of crypto news, get daily updates in your inbox.<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Google has long preached the gospel of &#8220;content written by people, for people.&#8221; But in a recent update, the search giant is quietly rewriting its own rules to acknowledge the rise of artificial intelligence.
