Will ChatGPT replace SEO?

No, but it will replace SEOs who don't use it. The work is changing. Drafting, outlining, schema, basic technical checks, even simple link prospecting can all be sped up by AI.

Strategy, judgment, analytics, search intent, and the part where you decide what's actually worth doing, that's still human.

The pattern I expect: smaller teams shipping more, fewer manual junior tasks, more time spent on the parts that matter. If you're an SEO and AI hasn't changed how you work yet, that's the thing to fix.
