Seems like a rerun of the argument over snippets, or the "answer onebox" as Google used to call it where the info you need is directly inlined in the SERP rather than being behind a link.

it is exactly a rerun of that argument, except that the UX of AI is different.

Basically AI is structured to make every result an answer onebox whereas in search this only happens sometimes.

Yes I would say that is very similar. Many sites saw their revenue crater, based on data they themselves had created.
