The lack of consequences has been a problem for quite a while now, from before LLMs. In my opinion it’s been caused by a widespread increase in professional incompetence, together with a mutually protective network of incompetent people. “I won’t point out that you’re incompetent and won’t blame you for your mistakes, if you do me the same favour”.
They call it “imposter syndrome”, but it isn’t a syndrome: it’s a symptom.
