SEO expert Aleyda Solis shared this quote from Google’s John Mueller recently about the Search Quality Rating Guidelines:
4.6.6 MC Created with Little to No Effort, Little to No Originality, and Little to No Added Value for Website Visitors
The Lowest rating applies if all or almost all of the MC on the page (including text, images, audio, videos, etc) is copied, paraphrased, embedded, auto or AI generated, or reposted from other sources with little to no effort, little to no originality, and little to no added value for visitors to the website. Such pages should be rated Lowest, even if the page assigns credit for the content to another source.
A lot of folks have taken this to mean that AI content is detected by Google. It’s not. Instead, they’re asking the human search quality raters to rate pages that are obviously AI-generated as lowest quality.
That’s a BIG difference. Why? Because, as recent headlines have shown, today’s LLMs are perfectly capable of passing the Turing Test – meaning that a human can’t tell whether they’re talking to a machine or a human.
This does not mean you shouldn’t use AI. This absolutely means you shouldn’t use AI in a lazy fashion, adding no value and just repurposing other people’s content.
This is not new; content farms and feed syndicators have been doing this for 25 years now, ever since RSS was invented in 1999.
Google’s human search quality raters will peg the lowest effort content, regardless of methodology. Your antidote is to stop generating low quality, low effort content. That’s what you need to know.
