Will Google or ChatGPT punish my AI content, and how do I do SEO and AEO now?

Google does not penalize content for being AI-generated; it penalizes low-value content at scale, and rewards experience and expertise (E-E-A-T) however it was drafted. The bigger shift is that answers now happen inside ChatGPT, Perplexity, and AI Overviews, so the new game (AEO/GEO) is being the source AI cites: direct answers up front, original data, and strong entity presence. Write for the reader, structure for the machines, and track citations, not just rankings.
