What are the citations actually required for though?
Another way to ask this is: what value remains without them?
I'll add this as well: humans produced valuable knowledge for thousands of years without the use or standard of citations.
To be clear, I think citations are highly valuable and desirable and I very much want LLMs to cite when appropriate. However, I think the necessity of this is overstated.
Edit: what you said of experts can be said of LLMs as well.
