“SEO is dead” has become a strawman argument being used to dunk on ghosts. The real question is whether search itself is mutating past the metrics we’ve relied on. I'm thinking: not a reboot - just a reset.

If they "run to publish" keyword generated slop at scale, then they have earned their results the old fashioned way ;-) lol However, if you are using AI to generate quality ideas, direction, summaries, and occasional core content - have at it without fear!
