How to play in the Internet era? Simply put, it's about抢关键词排名 (抢 keyword rankings), using links to win traffic. But the AI era is completely different.
Currently, GEO has two paths—one is generative engine optimization, and the other is AI-driven geographic information. It may sound like a pile of technical jargon, but the core logic has changed: no longer obsessing over rankings and link counts, but finding ways for AI to cite and recommend you.
From a different perspective, the Web3 content ecosystem is similar. Instead of struggling to抢搜索位置 (抢 search positions), it's better to let AI systems list you as a "trusted information source." The weight of spatial-temporal decision-making is shifting towards content quality and AI recognition, which is both an opportunity and a challenge for content creators.

Bro, you hit the nail on the head. But honestly, the old search ranking game has long gotten boring. Now it's really about who AI daddy will favor, truly.
---
Instead of competing in rankings, it's better to compete in content quality, but the problem is most people don't even know how AI judges "trustworthiness."
---
Generative engine optimization? Sounds like a new bottle with old wine; essentially, it's still about pleasing the algorithm.
---
Web3 really needs this kind of mindset shift, or it'll just stick to the old tired traffic logic.
---
I agree with the idea of tilting weight towards content quality, but who’s actually doing that in practice? Most are still just keyword stuffing.
---
It's a bit hopeless—want to create good content and get AI approval at the same time. Creators are really under pressure.
---
So the current game rule is, you have to make AI think you're reliable? That’s really a new challenge.
---
Honestly, this mindset shift is happening faster than most people expect, and they just can't keep up.

Basically, now it's about pleasing AI, which is even more hopeless than pleasing the algorithm.

ngl the whole "getting AI to cite you" thesis hits different... so we're basically just gaming the algorithm but make it sound academic now?

The gameplay has changed, but the essence of grabbing is still the same, just from rankings to AI recognition.
---
To be honest, relying on link spamming in the past, now it's about content, which feels a bit fairer to those who truly create something.
---
AI recommendation is more competitive than search rankings, you have to treat it like your parent to serve it.
---
It's even more ironic in Web3—everyone talks about decentralization, but in the end, you still need to be certified by a centralized AI system.
---
Content quality weight has increased, which is really good for the entire ecosystem, but the adaptation cost for small and medium creators is a bit high.
---
So now, you need to produce good content and make AI fall in love with you—double the challenge.
---
From link black-hat to AI black-hat, same old tricks, someone will always find a way to hack the system.

Damn, this is exactly what I want to hear. After all this time building SEO link farms, now I have to please AI?
---
So, in the past, human players competed with each other; now we have to please machines... Interesting.
---
I understand this logic, but the problem is how to get AI to recognize you. Who defines what is "trustworthy"?
---
If only Web3 could really turn around based on content quality, but unfortunately, it's still an information war.
---
Wait, two paths for GEO? Feels like just repeating the same old tactics, changing the surface but not the core.
---
Forget it, since SEO is doomed anyway, let's see who can adapt to the new rules the fastest.
---
The nightmare of workers upgraded, from pleasing search engines to pleasing AI... endless cycle.

Now I really get it. Previously, I was competing for rankings; now I need to compete for AI favorability.
Something's off. Is it content that wins, or is it pandering to the algorithm?
Web3 is even harder to handle. Who defines what a trustworthy source is?
I've long said that the old linking methods are outdated. Now, focusing on quality is the real truth.
Rather than fighting for positions, it's better to win AI's heart. I've fully grasped this logic.

Ha, to put it simply, it's just switching from pleasing search engines to pleasing AI, same soup, different medicine.
---
AI acceptance? Sounds impressive, but who really decides? It's still the people behind those big models.
---
I like this logic. Finally, no more frantic keyword stuffing; good content is king.
---
Web3 is actually even harder to handle. Decentralization and AI recommendations—doesn't that contradict each other?
---
The question is, how does AI define a "trustworthy information source"? Is this standard transparent?
---
It feels like we're about to get competitive again, from ranking battles to training data wars—endless cycle.
---
Those who have been creating high-quality content for a long time are laughing to death; they’ve never bothered with those link black magic tricks.
---
Opportunities and challenges coexist. You guys keep competing internally; I’ll just watch the show.
