LLMs don’t store real URLs – only token sequences.
To generate a link, they have to assemble it token by token based on probabilities.
Which means: there’s always a built-in chance the link is broken, wrong, or malformed.
That’s why reliable links require grounding – e.g. via Google Search Index or an external retrieval system.
