To me the dream of AI is: an agent can do the drudge work of tracking every statement down to the supporting reference, documentation and ultimately the work involved in verifying.
It is NOT being used for this, instead we want faster “answers” that avoid due diligence. Same as always but lazier.
I mean you can definitely do that - just set it up do to that.
What you are describing is that a majority of humans are inherently not interested in that. There are are a subset of people who would like to do that - and certainly can now that they have the tooling.
Its just a vastly strong tool. If you want it, build it.
