On Friday, Google said it launched the biggest change it made to search within Google in the past five years by releasing BERT. And as expected, Google said that you cannot optimize for BERT, just like you can't optimize for RankBrain.

Danny Sullivan from Google said on Twitter this morning "There's nothing to optimize for with BERT, nor anything for anyone to be rethinking."
