Regarding recent AI developments, I suspect that "November 2022" will be remembered as some kind of turning point. Or perhaps: past the point of no return. I actually feel a strange sense of mourning. "Be careful what you wish for." (often attributed to Aesop--rather quaint)

Updated an article where I already had the Google Search snippet and Google still has me at #1 with an updated snippet (thankfully) - took a day or two for the changes to show in SERPs. Don't be afraid to update content that has already been successful to stay at the top.
