Links requested are never real or not working

I’m requesting to GPT a list of articles or links about a specific topic link project management and when I try to see the links it provides, the links are always 404. There is thing I can do to avoid this kind of situation?

Does anyone has any idea to share?

The AI will produce probable and likely text. This can mean sequences of text that look like URLs but are just similar to others the AI was trained on.

If you are programming an API that:

  • doesn’t actually have internet access
  • uses a model that doesn’t have overtraining on blocking all URL requests

I would advise a little “link warning” info box:

“We have not blocked hallucinations, which are fabrications by AI models, possible due to their internal method of operation. Many web links provided as though from the AI’s knowledge may be expired or may have never existed. The AI would not have been able to answer correctly anyway in such cases, but we hope this output allows you to learn more about AI language models.”

OpenAI however has blocked most such direct requests, though.

It is not clear if you are programming your own interface.
