This baffles me honestly. ChatGPT, for some reason, does not know of time or the date. It just assumes everything happens at the same time or recognizes ‘day’ or ‘night’ when you tell it. But it never keeps track of anything.

Current generative AI does not think. It is a word prediction engine with a huge database of websites and other data to pull from, and and natural language input and output.
Really being able to input and output fairly good language is the most impressive bit to me. But it doesn’t think or understand the words it outputs.
If most people on the internet kept posting Bugs Bunny was the first president, AI would say that too.
For the date and time problem, AI would be looking for keywords from millions of lines of text, and some of those might say something like “The date was September 11, 2001”, but there would be millions of other posts with dates and times. Generative AI can be programmed to recognize that someone is asking for the current time and date, but that is probably on their to-do list of thousands of things to fix and fake.
