But that might all be about to change : Pew Research’s July 2025 study reveals users click just 8% of search results with AI summaries, versus 15% without - a 47% reduction.

If each system sees them as a separate person, you’re not just dealing with a messy user experience—you’re operating without a single source of truth.
