Google has been saying that no one uses the LLMs.txt file, that Google won't use it, that it can be useless, and you probably should noindex it if you do use it. Well, Google itself uploaded an LLMs.txt file for the Google Search Central portal.
The file is over here: developers.google.com/search/docs/llms.txt. Here is a partial screenshot:
This was spotted by Lidia Infante who posted it on Bluesky and asked John Mueller of Google, "Is this an endorsement of llms.txt or are you trolling us, John?"
John replied saying, "hmmn :-/"
So what is up with this? Is Google trolling us?
