The only thing Gemini is good for is bringing up sources that don’t appear in the regular Google search results. Which only leads to another question: why are those links not in the regular Google search results?
I find the same with perplexity. It’s more of a search assistant in finding some sources that a search engine likely wouldn’t. Sometimes it’s summarized answers are accurate, sometimes it’s a jumble of several slightly unrelated sources.
That’s an interesting thought. I would wonder if there’s too much change/movement in the ai models, and would think that we won’t see something like that until there’s more stability, or one of the ai models comes out on top of all the others. Right now you’d have to optimize for half a dozen different models, and still be missing a few ‘popular’ ones.

My only guess is that they’re trying to see if de-enshittifying results for AI can make it profitable
I was talking about this with a webdev buddy the other day, wondering if webmasters might start optimizing for AI indexing rather than SEO.
