Google 'Helpful Content' Update rewards AI spam sites
 

Google announced the other day that they would no longer distinguish between AI and human written sites, and simultaneously launched their 'Helpful Content' update.

Many webmasters, including myself, are finding that sites that have been hand-written with quality and helpful text for over a decade have been decimated in the rankings by sites that appear to be AI-written.

The worst is that I'm sure a couple of sites that now rank above me not only have been written by AI, but have actually regurgitated my carefully researched and handwritten posts to produce their AI spam articles that Google now prefers.

It has been that way ever since tubes took over.

That's wild as Google has not been "helpful" for years.

They may roll it back and literally fucking everyone is complaining.
