Lily Ray shared new data from Peec AI indicating significant shifts in ChatGPT's search behavior post-version 5.6. To combat spammy SEO content, the share of fan-out queries containing terms like "vs", "comparison", "top", "best", and "review" has plummeted. Conversely, there's a surge in "site:" searches and modifiers like "official", suggesting a pivot towards citing authoritative sources.
