AI Citation Failures: How Evidence Breaks Down in AI-Generated Answers
How citations in AI answers fail in practice: mismatched sources, circular sourcing, outdated evidence, misattribution and conflicting sources.
The problem-space cluster. It documents the concrete failure modes we see repeatedly: fabricated or non-resolving citation URLs, circular sourcing where one unverified claim becomes accepted background, stale evidence attached to time-sensitive claims, and overconfident answers built on mixed or conflicting evidence. The aim is to describe these failures precisely enough that teams can recognise them in their own systems.
