Google Showing AI Overviews For Site Commands
Briefly

Recently, an AI Overview feature from Google incorrectly claimed that the website billhartzer.com had no content related to casinos when a site command was executed. This incident, first highlighted by SEO expert Bill Hartzer, demonstrates a significant accuracy issue within the AI tool. The AI Overview assumed a lack of content despite the presence of casino-related material on the site. This raises concerns about the reliability of AI summaries, especially in SEO contexts, and leads to worries about Google's potential shift from traditional site command functionality to AI-generated summaries.
It appears there are no results for "site:billhartzer.com casino". This suggests that the website billhartzer.com likely does not have any content related to casinos.
