Silly question and the answer is probably no, but does staging increase the appraised value of a home the same way it does with the perceived value of a home?

Recently while negotiating terms with a listing agent I told her my evaluation was based on the price per square foot of nearby comps. She informed me she spoke to several appraisers that indicated it would appraise higher than my clients were offering. Meanwhile she sent me a document clearly produced by Chat GPT on why luxury homes are not evaluated on a price per square foot. Rather than make an enemy I let it go but isn't that how appraisers evaluate property?
