nothing dramatic so far. From past updates, big movements sometimes show up days or even weeks later, so I’m just monitoring and not reacting yet.

Give it 2 weeks to rollout

I suspect that what Google calls a “core update” this time, which is said to take about three weeks, is actually more of a ranking fine-tuning rather than a true core update.
This update also doesn’t seem to be targeting fully automated AI-generated content. If it were, given Google’s technical capabilities, it should be able to identify such content, and we would likely see large-scale ranking fluctuations. After all, AI-generated content is still very widespread at the moment.

I didn't see any fluctuations; everything seemed the same as usual.

Core updates often hit quietly at first. no movement usually means your site isn’t in the early impact wave yet.

Not every core update causes instant chaos. Many roll out quietly, hit specific niches, or land in waves over weeks. If your SERPs look stable, it usually means your site isn’t in the target zone of this update at least for now.
Core updates aren’t always earthquakes; sometimes they’re slow pressure shifts.
