Weekly Trivia: The biggest winner of the August Core Update in the UK is reddit.com. True or false?

Happy Hot Cross Bun Day! Wait... Wasn't Easter back in March?
​
Welcome to another week packed with fresh updates! All eyes are on Apple Intelligence after its big Monday reveal. Next month, we can expect AI-assisted text rewrites, a revamped Siri, transcription, and enhanced image search. Plus, it’ll come integrated with ChatGPT to handle complex requests. Meanwhile, Google is launching an AI-powered virtual try-on tool for dresses, letting users preview outfits on a variety of real models. OpenAI’s new Strawberry model is pushing AI reasoning to the next level. Designed for long-term tasks, it could even reshape the future of SEO. Etsy is also stepping up its game, refining its search and discovery experience to highlight top-quality products. If you haven’t explored its new search visibility page yet, now’s the time - it’s a great resource for sellers.
