Takeaways

Molly Youngblood on how research time can be dramatically reduced using tools like ChatGPT: "I can go to ChatGPT and say, 'Hey, I want you to write me a word list of 50 long tail keywords.' And it will literally generate it within minutes."

Molly Youngblood keeping up with new AI features: "Each different AI tool has different capabilities. It's really a landscape that's transforming. It's literally changing every day. And you're absolutely correct. Gemini has capabilities that maybe ChatGPT doesn't and vice versa. Search GPT may have capabilities that Gemini doesn't have. So, it's really an evolving process. And one of those things that all I can recommend is just staying on top of the latest news. It literally changes every day."

Craig (in the live chat) on AI search overviews replacing website visits: "I use AI for search, but I don't go to websites to get my information anymore if I get the answer from AI."

Adam (on X): "If AI can give me technical advice that is actionable and platform-specific, then I'll bite. (Don't think it can today.) If AI tells me how to write anodyne slop designed to please Google but not my readers, think again."
