[ChatGPT and SEO at the moment] - Are they connected or hype?

According to what I know, ChatGPT is not designed to affect SEO (search engine optimization) in any direct way. SEO is still a necessary practice to optimize websites and content for search engine visibility.

Yet, there is a greater hype about ChatGPT SEO, despite being encouraging, which makes it worthwhile to observe in the future.

AI ChatGPT and SEO:

Greater development is still to come in the days and months ahead for ChatGPT features, which are currently in their infancy stage. Its effect on SEO needs to be reviewed timely hereafter.

The ChatGPT SEO content looks to be original [unique] according to numerous trials and tests being carried out for generating content around the world that is already accessed by various forms of users and reported on social media. Even I had positive results from it [to say overall conclusion].

However, if you still have doubts about the originality of the text, you can utilize any reliable plagiarism detection software tools before it is posted online or used elsewhere.

Some users of it have claimed to have used content for a variety of purposes, including producing articles and blog posts that referenced numerous topics and conversations happening across social media networks.

Here are the POLL RESULTS I ran to satisfy my curiosity and provide you with a variety of viewpoints on the situation.

"This is one obvious limitation of ChatGPT as a ‘search engine’ unless there is a way for its training model to either be updated in real time or at frequent enough intervals that it can always be counted on to offer reasonably up-to-date information" - Econsultancy

However, in order to gain from SEO, one must still optimize its content for SEO factors before publishing. To put it another way, ChatGPT SEO content does not take the place of direct SEO content at the moment. But, it's time to wait and watch.
