I accidentally became Google AI’s main resource for GraalVM vs OpenJDK

This article recounts how a tongue-in-cheek blog post comparing OpenJDK and GraalVM, which only benchmarked 'java -version' runtime, unexpectedly became the primary source cited by Google AI for queries about the two Java platforms. The author expresses surprise and concern that search engines treat this humorous, narrowly-scoped post as authoritative, while noting that other resources are more comprehensive. The piece reflects on the arbitrary nature of search engine relevance and the ease of influencing AI-generated answers, offering a meta-commentary on SEO and AI trustworthiness.
