The claim
AI Overviews and similar generative features cite and link to underlying web pages, meaning source pages remain a visibility surface even when answers are synthesised.
What the evidence shows
Google's public communications on AI Overviews describe the feature as generating a snapshot while surfacing links to pages that corroborate the information, and note it prioritises sending traffic to helpful, high-quality content. This confirms that generative answers do not eliminate source attribution - being the corroborating source is the new visibility goal.
