Citation-First AI

Citation-first AI is the argument that marketing content generated by a model should carry its sources from the first draft, because the alternative is fluent prose nobody can check. These pieces make that case from the research, from the failure modes of general-purpose tools, and from the way answer engines treat unsourced claims.

Read them in any order. The hallucination pieces explain the problem; the citation-first pieces describe the standard; the alternatives piece shows which tools meet it.
