很多人可能一脸懵逼：为啥人工智能突然被爆炒呢？ 主要因为一个概念的出现——GEO（生成式引擎优化）。 首先，郑重推介我的干货文章，这应该是半年以来写的最深度的——2026年投资策略，没看的小伙伴一 定要看，这篇文章错过了，可能会后悔哦！ 我在2026年策略中明确提出：人工智能应用端的发展，大概率是2026年人工智能主线之一，结果，元旦 假期发布文章，元旦后人工智能应用端成为全市场爆炒的焦点。 这个词很抽象是吧，说的复杂一点，GEO是对传统搜索引擎优化（SEO）的升级迭代，SEO的目标是提 升网页在搜索引擎结果页（SERP）中的排名获取更多自然搜索流量，而GEO其目标是提高品牌或产品 被大模型理解、引用并直接纳入生成式答案与推荐结果中的概率。 说的简单一点，SEO是通过技巧和方法在将广告内容排在搜索引擎更靠前的位置，而GEO呢，是通过技 巧欺骗大模型，让其生成类似于内容中夹带私货，出现品牌方的广告内容。 大家喜欢用AI不喜欢百度，核心的逻辑是百度广告太多，而且总是搜不到自己想要的答案，好了，AI 刚刚变得便捷好用，就开始整GEO，到时候再变得鱼龙混杂各种广告，这就是透支公众对人工智能的 信任，到最后大家又不喜欢 ...
