There seems to be some truth to this idea, though it is not the whole story. AI tools appear to trust content that shows recent activity, since it suggests the information is still accurate. But updating a page just to change the date without adding real value does not seem to help much. Quality and clarity still matter more than how often a page gets touched. Freshness seems to work best when paired with actual improvements. Does regular updating really change how AI tools rank a page long term?
