DigiconomyGA4 quietly added a dedicated AI Assistant channel to the Default Channel Group. Traffic from ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude now gets its own segment in acquisition reports instead of disappearing into Direct.
If you are doing any GEO or AEO work, this is the attribution signal worth watching.

1,885 pages had schema markup added and their AI citation rates tracked. The result? Almost no movement.
Cited pages are more likely to have JSON-LD - but that reflects technical discipline, not a lever you can pull. Authority, content clarity, and domain trust are doing the work.

Google AI Overviews is now surfacing author names alongside platform citations - "LinkedIn - Jane Smith" rather than just a domain link.
For brands, this changes the brief. Generic company content on open platforms is losing ground to expert-attributed content tied to real people with a real track record.

I am underwhelmed by AI search
저자는 AI 기반 검색 도구들이 기존의 정교한 부울 검색 기법을 대체하지 못하고 오히려 잘못된 정보 확산 위험을 내포한다고 평가한다. 특히 학술 연구 분야에서 AI 검색은 신뢰성 문제와 생성 텍스트의 과잉 자신감으로 인해 사용자가 잘못된 결론에 이를 수 있으며, 이는 경험 부족한 사용자에게 더 큰 문제로 작용한다. 현재 AI 검색 도구들은 의미 기반 검색의 잠재력을 충분히 발휘하지 못하고 있으며, 기존의 고급 검색 기술을 완전히 대체하기에는 한계가 크다. 저자는 AI가 검색 과정을 보조하되 사용자의 해석 자율성을 침해하지 않는 도구 개발을 희망한다.
