and the next heavy drop. The shop and news page are virtually down today, the ranking has plummeted, and Google traffic is 0 so far... So it goes on...

I only understood that these ai chatbots can become a national danger, in my opinion once the masses start using them those who have more users will be able to manipulate the information. For example, for Deepseek there is no dictatorship in China, but in the meantime everyone must be loyal to the Communist Party. Now think about how much information can be manipulated, think that each of us will have a vertical profile with which we can rebuild our lives. All this seems like the stuff of bad guys of the Marvel

Ki-bots are already a danger. There is so much misinformation and fraud on social media, and AI bots give the perpetrators a tool that makes it increasingly difficult to discern what is real and what is not. In my opinion, ChatGPT and the like should never have been released to the general public.

Google has changed News, interesting, you no longer see the subscribers in the Publisher Center.

So, about the traffic: Discover traffic is continuing, so visitor numbers remain very good. I'm a bit surprised, because it's usually there one day and then it's gone the next.
Shop: Here, too, traffic and sales remain high, and today the monthly target has been reached. I have no idea what Google is doing, but it's welcome to stay that way.
