Not automatically, but it creates a real risk if you're not careful. Google's stated position is that it evaluates content quality regardless of how it was produced. The problem isn't that the text was generated by AI. It's that AI-generated text tends to be generic, unspecific, and indistinguishable from a thousand other pages saying the same things. That lack of differentiation is what hurts rankings. There's a subtler problem too. AI models generate plausible text, not necessarily accurate text. If ChatGPT writes a claim about your business or industry that you don't verify, and that claim is wrong, you've published misinformation under your brand. AI search engines cross-reference what you say against other sources. Unverifiable claims reduce trust in your entire site as an entity, not just the one page. Use AI to draft. Edit with your own expertise and real data. Publish nothing you haven't verified.
