I am not sure how the industry feels about that quote.

AI didn't kill content marketing. Lazy marketers did 🤷
AI just gave them the ability to flood the internet with mediocre content at scale.
More articles. Less thinking. Zero differentiation.
Have we become so obsessed with publishing that we've forgotten why anyone should read our content?

On #SEOTalk this week:
Did AI Kill Content Marketing, or Did We?
We chased keywords, traffic, and publishing volume. AI just made it easier to produce more of the same.
Is AI the problem, or is our content strategy broken?

Most brands are still treating distribution like it’s 2023.
But AI Search is pulling signals from a much wider ecosystem.
If your brand isn’t showing up where the conversations, citations and recommendations happen, your content may exist without really travelling.
We learn more about it later today on #SEOTalk Spaces along with our hosts @parthsuba77, @MalharBarai at 9:30PM
I just cleared 20 years of inbox anxiety in a single weekend. 217,000 emails going back to 2005 — sorted, archived, and cleaned without me lifting a finger. Here's how 🧵
If your inbox is also a 20-year time capsule, stop scrolling and start delegating. @Muse
This is what people miss about AI agents: it's not a chatbot that tells you HOW to clean your inbox. It's a coworker that actually DOES it — with your approval gates, on a schedule, while you sleep.
The old me would have spent YEARS on this. The realistic me would have rage-deleted everything and lost something important. Instead I handed it to @Muse — an AI agent with its own computer — and said "handle it."
Once you figure out building agents that legit deliver high quality work, the question quickly becomes how do you optimize for costs?
Tested Perplexity Computer, Grokbot, both are good/have their own pros and cons. Ran out of computer max plan credits.
Any resources ?
Musk trained Grok with their models?
We’re ending our partnership with Cursor following its acquisition by SpaceX. Under our proposal, Cursor’s direct access to our models would end on November 12.
We know that the people most affected by this decision are the developers who rely on OpenAI models in Cursor. We care about their experience in this transition and we’re ready to go above and beyond to support them.

AI Watermarking is talk of the town and SEOs can't ignore this chatter.
But should it really become part of your SEO Strategy?

Less than 2 hours to go.
Most SaaS AI search audits stop at the website.
But AI recommendations are also shaped by reviews, comparison pages, communities, citations and third-party mentions.

Bloggers were taught to write for rankings.
Now AI Search is forcing a different question:
Is your content actually useful, original and worth citing?
This week on #SEOTalk, we examine which old SEO habits need to stay and which ones need to go

What if the SEO rules that once helped bloggers rank are now making their content invisible in AI Search?
This week on #SEOTalk Spaces Ep. 138:
Are Old SEO Rules Killing Bloggers in AI Search?
Join us as we challenge what still works, what needs to change, and what bloggers should do next.
