Evidence shows that Google’s Bard (now Gemini) does include a built‑in mechanism for citing sources in its answers, even if it does so inconsistently.

• Shortly after Bard’s rollout in March 2023, Google’s own FAQ (quoted by Search Engine Land) stated that “If Bard does directly quote at length from a webpage, it cites that page.” This makes clear that Bard has an explicit feature to attach citations when it quotes web content.

• Coverage of Bard’s 2023 updates notes that a citation feature debuted around May 2023, where Bard would show sources when its generated text closely matched online content, reinforcing that citations are an intentional product capability rather than an accidental side effect. (thelatch.com.au)
• Later reviews of Bard describe “Citation of Sources” as one of its pros (while criticizing that it is inconsistent), confirming that the product, as used in practice, can and does provide source links in its answers. (ai-productreviews.com)

Jason’s prediction was that Google’s Bard LLM product “is going to do citations as well”—i.e., that it would include a citation feature. Since Bard indeed has a built‑in mechanism for citing sources in some responses, the prediction is judged right, even though Bard does not always or prominently show citations for every answer.
