E835: AI SEO is officially being gamed - and Google's AI mode can't keep up.

Two of the best SEO minds on 𝕏, Gagan Ghotra and Harpreet Singh, join the show to break down how people are manipulating AI search systems using cheap press releases, Reddit strategies, and content tactics that still fly under Google's radar.

We go deep on how AI Overviews, ChatGPT, and Perplexity are pulling data from questionable sources, why "AI slop as a service" is flooding the web, and what brands and SEOs should actually be doing to survive in this new landscape.

Topics Covered: - The $6 press release trick that influences AI results - How Reddit controls local and product-based AI search answers - Why Google's AI Overviews are broken (and how long it'll take to fix) - How to protect your brand from bad AI mentions - The future of E-E-A-T, system-level prompts, and "AI mode" - Why most "AI SEO" tools are setting brands up to fail - Building long-term brand authority in the AI search era
