The Impact of AI on Website Traffic
The podcast discusses the impact of AI on website traffic, specifically focusing on Google's SGE (search generative experience). The speakers highlight concerns about AI stealing clicks and the potential loss of high-value traffic. They mention that while AI may provide quick answers and citations, it often fails to properly attribute the original source, leading to skewed value attribution.
