I would like to see solutions (for professionals) that ditch the whole generative part altogether. If it's so good at finding references or identifying relevant passages in large corpora, just show the references. As you said, the "answer" only entices laziness and injects uncertainty.

I think the important product-design issue here (which may be sabotaged by the Attract Investor Cash issue) is that labor-savings can backfire when:

1. It takes longer to verify/debug/fix specious results than to just do it manually.

2. Specious results were not reliably checked, leading to something exploding in a very bad way.

Yes. The most "exciting" part is the worst part of the whole system, that contributes negatively.
