Comparing old vs new citations reveals how ChatGPT's search behavior has changed

Lily Ray notes that comparing what ChatGPT used to cite versus what it cites now reveals how the system has evolved. She speculates ChatGPT may now be doing deeper research — fanning out queries, reasoning across sources, and examining product pages directly — rather than relying on its earlier citation patterns. A useful observation for anyone tracking AI search citation behavior and its SEO implications.
