In this situation, there is no article. just a made-up citation info for a non-existent article in a real journal. But if you go to look up the article itself in the journal, you can't find it.

I get sent to the journal website, not to a specific issue or volume. Since the fake citation is of an issue the library has access to, the library platform assumes that the library has access to the article.

It does create an air of legitimacy when it appears on the library website. I'm sure whatever platform my university library uses for their catalog is also used by other university libraries.
I'm going to send a message to the library about this in case they aren't aware.

To be clear, the library isn't using AI to generate a fake article. Rather fake citation info is being transferred in a link URL to generate a temporary catalog page on the library site via standard API tools (not AI).

I was confused since I see this page on my uni's library when linked from Google Scholar, but could not get to it by searching the libraries article catalog. I realized that the link URL from Google Scholar contains the citation info - so library page is generated programmatically from the info

When viewing the fake article in Google scholar on my university network, there is a link to access the article via my uni's library. That link sends me to a library page that makes fake article appear real... Turns out library page is made programmatically from info on Google scholar 🤦

It's not non-citizens bleeding our healthcare system. It's the profit-seeking entities (and the bureaucracy they create) who are leeching the system.
