One of the most common questions that I get lately is “can we just use ChatGPT for content?”. The answer is not a simple yes or no, but a guide on how to use it properly. You absolutely should not copy and paste content from any LLM AI service into your website to populate it and help get your site to rank. We are now seeing pages crawled, but not indexed for most copy and paste AI content pages. This is a critical signal that AI content does not fully pass Google’s authoritative signals.
