What’s the purpose of the cite feature if isn’t explicitly stated in the text? I can see it being helpful for search engines to do with advertisement purposes but unless one knows exactly where a quotation comes from how does help a person if it’s hidden behind the scenes. Is this for teaching the AI? Why should screen readers have more information than the average person? How many people are going to see the source code? Don’t you have to worry about copyright if you just hide your “cite”?

Visual readers can understand by visual context clues, position, the browser rendering italics, that it’s a citation.

I’ve taken the liberty of doing a web search for you and gathering some resources that will answer your questions and hopefully provide interesting insights.
I believe you are referring to the cite attribute. It isn’t rendered on screen true. I believe it was intended for search engine purposes.
I’m supposing this is an extra help to disabled people since one cannot listen to information at the same speed as one can read text.
you can listen to information pretty fast if you are used to it, but you don’t have visual cues that show what each text on the page is, if you use semantic html and proper attributes then that infos can be communicated also by screen readers

How fast is that? [.]
really really fast, find some examples on the internet
one such example is the audio used in this archived challenge: https://www.freecodecamp.org/learn/responsive-web-design/applied-accessibility/improve-accessibility-of-audio-content-with-the-audio-element
