How could anyone not have understood from the start that this would be the result of this technology?

How could anyone who understands this technology call it "artificial intelligence" and create products using it specifically marketed for legal and medical work?

That one's easy. Because they can con people into paying for it.

I think it's a mix of things.

Some people are lazy but properly embarrassed after they're caught, others are idiots, still others have no conscience with which to be bothered.

But it can't be ignored that AI companies shout to the world in their massive marketing campaigns that they'll save you so much time and effort, and then whisper much later we might get some things wrong, check the output. But it's obvious they want everyone to think it works well now.

As an appellate litigator, I relish cases like this one because they show, beyond doubt, how trial judges everywhere often phone it in. They often pick a winner by gut feeling instead of reading the filed papers, doing their own research, thinking independently, and following the law.
