AI Optimization is the term. It's now a bug part of marketung. Attempting to get AI to understand, recommend, and prefer your product. Ideally, this just by having the best marketing pages, but I'm guessing it can be gamed just like SEO. Embed text that an AI will see but a human won't, specifically lying about the product, or at the very least hamming points that would be terrible for a normal marketing page.

So for example, there was a study recently that found, when you’re looking for the best whatever it is, in something like 44 percent of cases ChatGPT is citing a blog post from a company’s own website where they listed themselves as the No. 1 best option and then 10 competitors, and ChatGPT is just spitting this out to other people.

It’s different than it used to be, right? People have been tricking search engines forever, but with a search engine it shows you the web page where the information came from. If you go to my website and it says, “I’m the world’s greatest hot dog eating journalist,” you go, “Well, maybe he’s biased,” right?

And somehow, not that many people are looking at source: AI and starting from the premise that it's garbage at best and biased deceit most likely.

Interesting, fun and terrorizing at the same time.
