If SO comes up in search results, I visit it. But I should also add that I usually skip reading "AI" results or summaries. There's usually nuance in SO questions and answers that "AI" leaves out.
I’ve had many situations where a sourced AI summary has references that don’t show up in the top search results. Clicking through to the source gives me the nuance and context of the full post that I wouldn’t have found without the AI summary. Even if you don’t trust the summary, rightfully so, it can still be good at surfacing good results.
