It definitely didn't seem more accurate to me. If quite frequently either scraped quotes that weren't actually an answer to my search (the webpage was correct, but the link between my search and the webpage was not), or it was an answer but the answer was wrong (because the webpage was wrong).

The AI summary now isn't perfect because it can still regurgitate wrong information from the Internet, or hallucinate information when there isn't any -- but it seems to actually understand what I want now, so it doesn't suffer from the incorrect matching problem.
