Well I don't know what to say, except that this is obviously, trivially, not true. The LLM will plain make up links that don't exist, or at least "summarise" an existing link by just making stuff up that is tangentially (but plausibly) related to the link. It's impossible to have used LLMs for this purpose for more than a quarter of an hour and not have seen this.

I never had the case, that an URL did not exist. For me it shows stuff like "generating web search", so I guess it tries to fetch the URL first, before suggesting it. LLMs like to give tangentially related links, but this is typically paired with a sentence, that the link I really asked for, does not exist.

You may be generalizing too much from your experience.
