Google frequently updates its search algorithms to improve the quality and relevance of search results. In 2023, there were several notable updates that aimed to prioritize original, high-quality content and combat spam and AI-generated content.

The March 2024 core and spam update targeted unoriginal content, emphasizing the need for websites to provide unique value rather than regurgitating existing information[3]. This update hit some major websites hard, completely de-indexing sites like Zach's that relied heavily on duplicated or low-quality content[3].

The November 2023 core update, Google's fourth of the year, caused significant volatility in search rankings[2]. While uncommon for major updates to occur so close together, Google advised focusing on creating helpful, reliable content for users[2].

The October 2023 core update also brought substantial ranking fluctuations, with Google aiming to improve rankings for content with unique expertise[2]. The accompanying spam update expanded Google's crackdown on deceptive techniques to more languages[2].

Google's Search Liaison, Danny Sullivan, hinted at further "major changes" coming to search rankings, advising some to "buckle up"[4]. However, he clarified that high-quality, user-focused content should remain unaffected[4].

Overall, Google's updates in 2023 emphasized prioritizing original, accurate content created for users over low-quality or AI-generated material, signaling an ongoing push to improve search quality[1][2][3][4].

Google is making major changes to its search engine and AI offerings, raising concerns about accuracy and transparency. Some key points:

• Google has drastically updated its search algorithm, leading to significant drops in visibility for some major websites.[1]
• Google's new AI chatbot Bard has provided nonsensical responses, impacting Google's stock price.[1]
• Google is rolling out "AI Overviews" which summarize topics using AI, but these have received complaints about inaccurate and irrelevant information.[1]
• With AI writing results, Google may be seen as a publisher rather than a platform, potentially making it liable for the information provided.[1]
• Users are unsure whether to trust Google Search with legitimate I/O resources mixed with sponsored content, or the AI Overviews which may simply regurgitate Google's own messaging.[1]

To maintain trust, Google should focus on improving the data its AI ingests and enhancing search indices and AI output quality. However, the company seems reluctant to do so, instead rapidly expanding AI products like the Gemini chatbot and AI Overviews.[1]
