Over the past few days, I ve been following a heated discussion about how Marc Lou is selling parts of his body in some kind of simulation to promote products (ad placements in the form of virtual tattoos) and making a lot of money from it.

I swear, the whole thing has gone mainstream.

I launched a small price-comparison site at the end of July. It tracks current catalogs of guitar models from a handful of major brands and matches them against new stock at independent dealers roughly 1,250 models across 11 URLs (a home page with the comparison table, five brand pages, and the usual about/methodology/legal pages). Static HTML, no client-side framework. The one rule I built it around: no synthetic data if a price can't be kept fresh, it links out to a search instead of showing a number I made up.

Build side works. Discovery doesn't. Seven weeks in, a site: query returns nothing and Search Console shows 11 pages "Discovered currently not indexed" with 0 indexed. The sitemap was read successfully and all 11 URLs were discovered from it, so Google has known they exist since July.

I have heard/read that people started making mistakes in their text to sound more like a human and less like an AI.

+ There was a discussion that LinkedIn identified AI-generated text + Claude released text watermarks.
