GEO poisoning is quite creepy when you think about it carefully; AI source contamination is much more severe than during the SEO era.

Lutke accuses Shopify of poisoning and manipulating the industry through GEO optimization; The Atlantic reveals that its official website's self-promotion rankings are almost entirely dominated by its own content, leading models like ChatGPT to trust its promotional articles. He advocates using credible non-fiction texts as sources, developing open-source QMD, and retrieving from trusted databases to resist public network advertising and GEO interference. However, Shopify's marketing still releases spam rankings to public networks, and Figma and ClickUp are also involved in such competitions. If AI gains autonomous ordering capabilities, the internet will become a battlefield of machine versus machine.
