For the record, I'm still going to talk about Answer Engine Optimization because there ARE answer engines out there. They use search engines (as I've been saying all along) but the first step in #AEO is to be indexed and ranking well enough in the search engines that the answer engines are using, such that they'll use your content.

Publishers have to face reality. The LLMs are trained on SOME of your content, yes, but they're getting your content for their answers from the search engines. If you want to be found in Web search, you have to be indexed in the search engines. If you want to be found in AI summaries or AI chats, you have to be indexed in the search engines.

And if you don't want to play in that sandbox, you still have social media, video platforms, and advertising to work with.

Your AI chatbot - no matter how well-trained - is NOT "a domain expert" or some kind of profession no matter how you word your prompts . It's an application that searches the Web and spits back probabilistically amalgamated summaries of whatever it found in the search results that seem to match your questions.

The Large Language Models are not retrieving information from the Web. They are submitting queries to the search engines. If the search results contain bad results the LLMs =MAY= ignore those bad results or they =MAY= include them in their summaries. That's not "hallucination". And if the results change because you use a different LLM or revise YOUR query, again, that's not the LLM being ignorant or hallucinating - that's just the LLM summarizing the results it was given by the search engine.

Most of the problems with AI Overviews are coming from the search results because Google has the largest index of all the major search engines and it's very tolerant of multiple points of view.

From my perspective, this material holds special relevance for therapists, social workers, and other mental health professionals because it highlights how the source of learning can shape the depth of knowledge. Learning from AI-generated summaries tends to produce shallower knowledge, with less time spent learning compared with learning through standard web search.
