Hi folks,
I'm looking to connect with anyone currently studying/tracking/analyzing LLM output and, as a bonus, who is interested in claims and purported strategies around generative engine optimization (GEO aka AI SEO).  My own research is trying to make sense of/tracking the rise of potential greenwashing via LLM output, but I'm keen to connect with researchers tackling any contested domain if you're doing empirical work in this area and/or thinking through methods for doing so. 

On methods specifically, I am also keen to connect with anyone with NLP or computational text analysis experience, as I'm looking to strengthen that side of my own project.

Cheers
-Patrick
