Google may be classifying AI-generated pages as thin content in manual actions

Google may be treating AI-generated pages as thin content under a broader manual-action policy.
A reported forum case says a site received a partial manual action targeting only /threads/, with the notice citing “Thin content with little or no added value.” SEOs believe the affected posts may be AI-generated, and the penalty appears limited to a specific URL pattern rather than the whole site.
