Why it matters
Users who rely on AI assistants for research or writing need sources they can check, so citation quality affects how much they can trust answers. Based on this thread alone, it is not clear how widespread the issue is. Readers should watch whether more detailed examples or responses from Anthropic appear before drawing conclusions about Claude's citation behavior.
