I foresaw the AI/LLM slow picking at everything we've built, as SEOs, as content creators.
There's two things it still can't do (despite easier automation).

A tool I always wanted for comparing competitor features with a client's offerings, not just to see where the feature gaps were, but also to understand where the client could catch up or excel.
So i've built it.

Fun (painful) SEO fact. I oversaw the (unsuccessful) migration of a very popular travel brand that was aquired by a well known financial (pay later) brand.
From the outset, myself & others I worked with, said it was a very bad idea. The result? The original brand died.

The absolute race to AI dominance & dessimation of small niche sites is the snake that eats itself.
The web has a finite amount of information. All the major AI players have consumed it all.
The Reddit agreement comes into focus with much more clarity.

Lemons are a man-made hybrid of citron and bitter oranges, and bitter oranges are a hybrid of mandarin and pomelo.
Man made lemons.
Not only did we make lemons, we add tartrazine for the ripe yellow color for $ even though they can be ripe when they're still green.
