It is commonly this way right now, but it doesn't have to stay this way forever.

It is also common, in my usage at least, to iteratively brow-beat the bot into paring its statements down to those that which are supportable by its sources. Doing so just takes repetition, and that repetition takes time and burns more tokens.

With the present state of things, the prompts to get moving on this and to guide the ultimate response into something that is verifiably supportable by outside sources can usually be simple and largely generic.

They're easy enough prompts that a subagent can produce them.

(I've done it myself with Codex subagents and it worked very well, aside from the unsustainable burn rate that did not fit my budget.)
