By visiting their original content they A) Get credited with the material and B) May get compensation for someone reading the article i.e through AD's on their web page etc - but the main point is they get the credit for their work. If you plug the same question into an AI search, it could well use the same website for its information, spit out the result and you would have no idea that information has come from someone who invested a lot of time into researching and writing up that original article.
The original article would/should also credit any sources it used, but again AI wouldn't credit these, this makes fact checking AI information very hard/ impossible.
Big companies like Meta shouldn't be allowed to steal information, just because people are enamored with the shiny new toy that is AI doesn't make it right.
Although I may be a bit biased as I hate AI with a passion
