Common Questions

What is EEAT in SEO?

Google uses EEAT—Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness—to judge content quality. It’s key for visibility in sensitive or competitive spaces.

How does EEAT affect niche industries?

Specialized sectors must show deeper credibility. Verified credentials, peer-reviewed insights, and direct experience all matter more in these categories.

Can AI-generated content meet EEAT standards?

Yes, if paired with human oversight. AI ensures speed and consistency, while humans add nuance, relevance, and trust signals.

Do author bios influence search rankings?

They do. Google treats bios with linked profiles and proven credentials as authenticity signals that improve authority.

What’s the role of backlinks in EEAT?

Backlinks from respected sites work like endorsements. Strategic linking builds trust, boosts rankings, and validates expertise.

Does user-generated content improve EEAT?

Definitely. UGC proves engagement and trust. Reviews, Q&As, and success stories all reinforce credibility.

Why is structured data important for EEAT?

Schema markup makes trust signals machine-readable. Author tags, FAQs, and ratings all help clarify authority to search engines.

How does user experience tie into EEAT?

Great UX—clean layout, fast load, mobile-first design—signals professionalism. It keeps users engaged and builds trust.

Can AI help build trust with users?

AI personalizes engagement and scales consistency. Used right, it makes interactions feel smarter and more helpful.

What’s the smartest way to apply EEAT principles?

Focus on quality over quantity. Use expert input, cite trusted sources, and let AI help you stay consistent and compliant.

Dax Hamman, a CEO with a passion for AI, throws ChatGPT into the middle of the classic game Werewolves vs. Villagers to see how well an AI can handle the social dynamics, trust, and deception that usually come naturally to humans.

The results?

Let’s just say the AI werewolves did more than just survive—they dominated. Join us as we unpack what happened, how AI navigated this complex social experiment, and what it all means for the future of AI in human-like interactions.

Key Takeaways

• AI in a Social Game: Dax Hamman sets up a Werewolves vs. Villagers game but replaces the human players with AI, including ChatGPT. The result was surprising, with AI werewolves winning far more often than human trends predict.
• Understanding Human Cues: One of the biggest questions explored in this episode is whether AI can detect lies, build trust, and strategize in a social game the way humans do. AI may process data with lightning speed, but it struggles with reading the room the way humans do.
• Logical vs. Emotional Strategy: ChatGPT revealed that its decisions were purely logical, highlighting its limitations in understanding emotional cues and intuition. These are things humans rely on heavily in social situations, especially in games of deception.
• AI’s Reflections: ChatGPT even offered insight into its own performance, explaining how the structured environment may have given AI players an edge over humans and pointing out its lack of gut feelings and social dynamics that define human play.

Topics Discussed

• The mechanics of Dax Hamman’s AI experiment and the setup of Werewolves vs. Villagers with AI.
• The differences between human intuition and AI logic in social situations.
• How AI’s logical processing can sometimes outperform humans in controlled environments.
• The limitations of AI when it comes to bluffing, trust, and deception in games—and in life.

Memorable Quotes

• “ChatGPT, in its own way, would say, ‘Look, I’m working with algorithms, probabilities...I don’t have those flashes of insight or gut feelings that you humans rely on.’” — ChatGPT (as quoted by Dax Hamman)
• “ChatGPT openly admitted it had a hard time with deception—something that comes naturally to humans, but not to machines.” — Dax Hamman
• “At the end of the day, there’s still that certain something AI hasn’t quite grasped—intuition, social awareness, and even a bit of good old-fashioned guile.” — Dax Hamman
