Back in 2012, I had uploaded my paper from 2010 on the Future of the Web and the real evolution to Web 3.0, on the Web Archive.
With AEO / GEO and ChatGPT giving 2 billion unique humans recommendations every single month and Google’s AI Overviews giving 2.5 billion unique humans recommendations every single month. My Youtube video shows how this change was always known to happen, based on observations in computer science.
It has already happened. 2026 has already changed everything forever, because the models advanced as thinking models and are now grounding their recommendations in SEARCH (Bing search and Google search), which makes the results more valuable. Which makes more humans trust them. And the humans are now no longer interfacing with the search engines of olden days. They are getting their recommendations directly from the machines.
- Google search changes forever after this summer (but we have you covered. Something is cooking on all plains)
- all the new 2026 thinking models perform web searches to make recommendations
- May 2026 was the only point in time when LLM txt and LLM full txt were both used with clear evidence (currently only clear for Claude,
- but so many people have been switching to Anthropic’s solution in 2026)
- the many results we brought this year compared to last year in terms of direct traffic from ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and AI Overviews
- shows how this shift is no longer happening. It’s already happened. It has been here, and it’s only growing stronger.
My GEO Academy by AISQ Growth is where I plan to teach ONE MILLION people (with zero costs, and zero upsells) how to adapt. And why not adapting will lead to sudden death.
