I think you underestimate just how much money is being poured into LLM SEO at the moment. It's real quiet because they don't want to draw attention and countermeasures from the frontier labs, but this is getting huge investment, and they will have a monomaniac focus on juicing product results whereas the attention of the labs necessarily has to be spread out.

Data curation is important and expensive and frontier labs can afford to do it right. Natural data isn't the limitation, we are already literally out of tokens. It doesn't matter how much you poison things it's not going to stop the progress train.
Who's doing llm seo right now? How does that work when you only gets feedback every few months when a new model is out?
I'm pretty sure the Optimization part is just ... not present at all.

This is how we get LLM summaries presenting something mentioned once by some nutjob in a reddit thread as bona fide FACT

Look at G2.com - they found their website is highly references by AIs and they are leaning into it hard.
