Google is directing its quality raters to watch out for pages with main content created using automated or generative AI tools – and rate them as lowest quality, according to Google’s Senior Search Analyst and Search Relations team lead John Mueller, speaking at Search Central Live in Madrid.

Automated or AI-generated content may now earn a Lowest rating.

In the January 2025 update of the Search Quality Rater Guidelines, Google introduces a new definition for Generative AI:
With its latest Search Quality Rater Guidelines update, Google added a definition and framing for generative AI for the first time. Google’s document calls it a useful tool, but one that can be abused.
The addition of Generative AI appears in Section 2.1 (Important Definitions):
“Generative AI is a type of machine learning (ML) model that can take what it has learned from the examples it has been provided to create new content, such as text, images, music, and code. Different tools leverage these models to create generative AI content. Generative AI can be a helpful tool for content creation, but like any tool, it can also be misused.”
