A researcher asks Claude for sources and gets three URLs, two of which lead to 404 pages. What explains the dead links?
Why this is the answer
Unless a retrieval tool is actually in play, Claude can write text that has the shape of a citation without ever having fetched the page — Anthropic's support article names this as hallucinating a capability. Simultaneous removal of two pages within minutes is not a realistic account of a repeatable problem; Claude does not compress URLs to save length; and there is no subscriber-gated source archive behind Claude's answers.
