Saaaame!!
But yeah I'm seeing alllll these patterns. Very fishy obviously bot behavior. In GSC, in 3rd party tools, in Google Trends.
Some logs we've seen have queries matching trending Discover topics.
(I don't have a cohesive theory yet, other than... something is broken.)

They def aren't "supposed to be" - those go through the API and definitionally don't show up in GSC.
And... yet. Is it a fishy LLM workaround? A Google bug? I dunno, but we keep seeing more and more odd patterns like this.
"{thing} - provide a detailed summary" is another we're seeing.
