Articles I Find Particularly Interesting About AI Search

The big concern for publishers is when AI becomes the journalist—Barry Schwarz, SearchEngineLand.com
Barry Schwarz offers that in order to compete for readers with AI search engines, authors should add “entertainment” value to differentiate the content. Barry puts this in the framework of adding an extra “E” to Google’s E-E-A-T (becoming Entertainment. Experience. Expertise. Authority. Trust.). I would add/modify that the additional “E” could be thought of as Emotion. Tom Shapiro at Stratabeat uses the principles of neuroscience to say that successful content that both performs well in search engines and drives conversions has an emotional component.
