those instances are not being swept under the rug though. paralegals and law students have a whole unit based on it in their studies. it's one of the few instances of higher education actually doing it's job.
Its also one of the best uses of AI, if properly checked after. Nobody is gonna know every obscure law, loophole and defense out there and having a computer run through the combined body of human knowledge to find one could bring back greater results than a person ever could.
But again, that requires taking what the AI gives you and then checking it instead of just blindly trusting it.
Very true, and it will always be the case. The same issue with AI right now in places like academia were seen in a smaller way with the advent of advancing technology in calculators. Where many math programs (and especially math courses in non-math degrees) became more about "here's how to make it do the work for you" instead of actually learning.
Literally can be though. Prompt it correctly and it'll search you out things far more effectively than Google's "optimization and algorithm" will. Specific industries have more specified search engines than raw Googling, but we aren't robots and you'll sometimes not be thinking outside your own brain's algorithm to fully take in the breadth of information that might be available to you if you just knew about it. Or things completely out of the ballpark that could be relevant.
Its a great sidekick to jump off of and get your own ball rolling, but its still a sidekick and shouldn't be trusted beyond that first foot forward.

If there is a lazy way out, people will use it. Interns or AI, it doesn’t matter.

AI is not a search engine though

Google shitting up its search results doesn't change the nature of what a LLM is. It's not searching, it's predicting.
