Google Confirms: Content Written for Humans Wins (Even in AI Search)
SEO Skool update: According to Danny Sullivan, all of Google’s ranking systems, including AI-powered search, reward content written for humans, not for algorithms, LLMs, or trendy acronyms like GEO or AEO; despite new AI search experiences, Google says there’s nothing new you need to do beyond what has always worked: create content that genuinely satisfies users, answers their questions clearly, and feels like “this is exactly what I was looking for,” because the more you optimize for specific systems or models, the further you risk drifting from the core goal, and as those systems improve, human-first content is what consistently stays ahead.
