Maybe, but not necessarily. For example, I recently searched for someone who worked at a company using a plain language query. The AI identified one person (correctly, as it happens), but all the links below were to different people.
Obviously the results were not driven by the same AI that produced the summary.
No one's objecting to that aspect of things.
