Google is testing paying publishers when their pages feed its AI answers, on terms only Google can see. My site runs the other version over x402.

Common Crawl's own AI Visibility Audit tells you to check your training data standing by hand. I automated it.

ChatGPT Changed How It Picks Sources While You Were Reading My Last Post
