Isn't Google putting AI results at the top some sort of conflict of interest?

Like if users can just get the info they want right at Google.com why would they click through to any of the search results? Isn't that stealing clicks from websites?

Stealing clicks? What obligation does Google have to send traffic to a site?

		What if that site paid for ads or to appear at the top of search results? Google's AI crap appears above even sponsored sites.
