We let a bot write our intro!

“Welcome back to the EDGE, 

In today’s podcast: we’ll be exploring three major headlines from the SEO/tech world. First, Google has brought the continuous scroll to desktop search results. Second, Google has rolled out a December 2022 helpful content update. And finally, ChatGPT is the latest tool for content and SEO. We’ll be taking a closer look at each of these stories and the implications they have for the SEO industry.”

That….has to be our lamest intro…..brought to you by ChatGPT!

We covered articles from SEL, SEJ, and SER this week. Dialing into focus is the use of ChatGPT and SEO content. What could possibly go wrong?
