I received an interesting email from Originality.ai this morning.
This month, March 2024, Google launched its biggest update in two years. As a result, as is often the case, many websites saw huge loss in traffic for a couple of primary reasons. First, one of Google's primary updates in the rollout was to target sites heavily laden with AI content. The sites identified (as much as 30%) as 100% AI content were deindexed or placed on review. Be warned, this will continue in a big way! Sites with less than 30% AI content were identified, for the most part, as having useful and appropriate content for the site (mostly established content sites) and had used AI for refinement purposes.
The battle will continue for some time. Google has been monitoring the AI content for more than three years now and claims it is not winning the battle and says it is adding to the "identify" algo's as well as ramping up departments and personnel for what is sure to be a continuing battle for the SE's and webmasters.
