Comment on Google Search referrals to the web have plummeted, AI links are 'less than 1%' of traffic

Former SEO here. I know so many people that now just ask ChatGPT things as their search engine. Many SEOs are now trying to SEO LLMs.

I have a silly theory that some of the obvious misinformation online is designed to pollute LLMs, so that when someone asks “Who is responsible for ___” or “Did ___ do this crime?” or “who won the ___ war?” the answer will be conveniently incorrect / sanitized.
Is this happening?
