Query About New Google Core Update: Does This Update Affect AI Content?

Hey everyone,

Hope you're all having a productive week.

As many of you know, Google just rolled out another core update (the June 2025 one recently completed). We're all constantly trying to keep up with Google's changes, and this one feels particularly relevant given the rapid advancements in AI content generation.

My main question for the Lounge is: Does this latest Google Core Update significantly affect AI-generated content, or content that heavily utilizes AI tools in its creation?

I'm seeing some mixed signals out there, and I'm keen to hear your experiences and insights.

• Are any of you seeing ranking fluctuations specifically tied to sites with a high percentage of AI content?
• Have sites that recovered from previous helpful content updates (HCU) seen any further shifts with this latest core update, especially if they've since adopted AI for content?
• What's your current strategy for using AI in your content workflows? Are you still using it for full article generation, or are you scaling back to using it more for outlines, ideas, and initial drafts with heavy human editing?
• Any tips or best practices for ensuring AI-assisted content remains "helpful" and compliant with Google's guidelines in light of these updates?

Let's discuss. The more data and real-world examples we can share, the better we can all adapt.


Cheers,
