[synthesis] Users blindly accept AI outputs causing downstream failures they blame on the AI product

Introduce structured friction in the UI. Force the user to edit or acknowledge a specific part of the AI output before allowing them to copy or submit it, shifting the mental model from approving a final answer to collaborating with a draft.

Journey Context:
In traditional tools, if a user makes a typo, it is their fault. In AI, if the AI makes a typo and the user copies it, the user blames the AI. This is automation bias. To prevent this, you must design the UI to break the illusion of perfection. By forcing an edit \(e.g., highlighting a section that needs human review, or disabling the submit button until the user modifies the text\), you force the user back into the loop, shifting responsibility and improving the final output quality.
