And what I got was a pretty comprehensive cocoa AI overview of how to do this.

And as I was reading through, I didn't I didn't actually go through with it because I don't have a turkey on me right now.

But I did see how this would absolutely collapse traffic to food bloggers, because previously, if you kept scrolling down, you would see links to food blogs on how exactly to do this.

In years past, that's probably where I would have gone, but now there's the AI overview.

They say they put links and references in their AI overview, Google says this, but you have to look closely.

There's really small icon links, and you have to squint to see them, and then you click on them, and then it opens up a new tab where you can see where they got this information from.

And that's why they may not work.

borrowing, I should say stealing from a bunch of different food blog recipes and they're combining together and they don't really know the difference.

So they might take one ingredient list from one blog and then another instruction manual from another recipe, put them together as if they were the same thing originally.
