Sounds like we've just gotten into lazy mode where we believe that whatever it spits out is good enough. Or rather, we want to believe it, and convince ourselves that some simple guardrail we put up will make it true, because God forbid we have to use our own brain again.

What if instead, the goal of using agents was to increase quality while retaining velocity, rather than the current goal of increasing velocity while (trying to) retain quality? How can we make that world come to be? Because TBH that's the only agentic-oriented future that seems unlikely to end in disaster.

You can't. To retain and improve quality requires care. Very few if any of the people setting stuff like this up truly care about delivering a quality result (any result is the real goal). Unless there's some incentive to care, quality will be found among the exceedingly rare people/businesses.
