Is SEO a waste of time in 2024?🤔

Is the AI-mania making SEO irrelevant? ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ This week at Thrive Themes WordPress | Marketing | Web Design Hey {NAME}, With the raise of AI-mania over the last year and a half... I recently came across a video by Wes McDowell (it's going quite viral) in which he claimed that SEO as we know it is essentially useless in 2024. But... Is this true? [We just published a video about this on our channel](. In short... 1 - No, I don't think SEO as we know it is going anywhere nor is it a waste of time in 2024. 2 - I actually think that, thanks to AI, it's easier than ever to leverage tools like AIOSEO/ChatGPT/Jasper to get low-level technical work completed. In essence, AI saves us time. It's the best friend SEO nerds like myself have always been waiting for. 3 - Let's not forget that AI ≠a brain. It's a complex, large machine language model. It knows what it's been trained on, but it doesn't actually think. That's why there's still plenty of room for original content to continue to shine. 4 - I'm 100% not trying diminish the disruption. AI is here to stay and over here at Thrive Themes we're all about embracing it... I just don't believe it's killing SEO as we know it. What do you think about this?
