TikTok generates curiosity.
On Google, the journey ends with an answer.
On TikTok, the answer is just the beginning.
52% of users keep searching after their first discovery.
SEO taught us to answer questions.
Maybe we should learn to spark new ones.

If users don't question polished AI responses, why would they question your content?
Anthropic: "Finished" outputs = less fact-checking, less questioning.
The opportunity: those who show reasoning, cite sources, and acknowledge uncertainty become the trusted voices.

The move by The Athletic to join Bluesky is quite interesting.
I love the network and find its audience very engaged. But I recognize that their brand power significantly influenced this
(it helps, but it's not the deciding factor).

And agreeing with Addy Osmani: it's "verification – not generation – that's the new bottleneck in software development."

The same applies to SEO for generation/modification, technical SEO, and other segments. In the end, the responsibility will always fall on the human who pressed the button.

Blind trust in AI-generated code, content, and solutions for SEO can backfire and represents a vulnerability.

Because of this, never skip a review step before going "live." This implies establishing processes and boundaries for your team.🧶

If I could add anything, it would be how the alt and description attributes of images can contribute to understanding the context, especially in content about finance.
