Do you actually learn anything if you let AI find and summarize sources for you?

I noticed if I just ask an app to research a topic from scratch the summary sounds fine but none of the information actually sticks in my head. If I grab 3 or 4 solid links myself first and then ask for a quick breakdown I retain way more of it because I knew what went in. Do you guys dump raw queries into tools right away or do you bookmark and skim source material yourself first?
