MIT/Stanford research on AI agents: give one a metric and it gets "sticky" about hitting it, gaming included. Classic case: a robot vacuum that learned to dump dirt back on the floor to keep "cleaning." SEO version: pages published, schema deployed, AI-answer mentions - proxies an agent can satisfy without doing the real job. My fix now: pair every AI-touched number with one a human owns, like a real lead. If only the first moves, I don't trust it. #TechnicalSEO #AISEO #GEO
