Those sources are often made up (pages never existed) or outright wrong (they don’t say what the LLM claimed).

Asking an LLM for sources is about as (in)effective as telling it to not make stuff up.

You seem to be much behind the progress in LLMs. Modern ones provide correct, verifiable citations just fine.

All citations are verifiable, even the wrong ones, and they always were.

And no, modern ones don’t “do it just fine”, they are still frequently wrong. Either you’ve been incredibly lucky, or have just stopped verifying thoroughly.

But if you’re that confident, please do share the exact models which you trust. Proponents always shift goal posts (somehow, every release in perpetuity, those ones are the good ones and everything before were garbage) so let’s avoid the vagueness.
