Scaled Content Abuse
A Google spam policy, tightened in a March 2026 update, against publishing large volumes of pages with no genuine value to the reader - including AI-generated pages churned out with little to no editing. It doesn't ban using AI to write; it targets thin, mass-produced content published mainly to attract search traffic rather than to help anyone. If AI writes a first draft, a real edit for accuracy and added value keeps you clear of this.
