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.

It wouldn’t be any different if you did the same with a human brain (with the memory capacity of ChatGPT):
“Human, read and memorize this giant pile of written text, which is a mix of things on the Internet, almost every book ever written, and such things.”
“OK, have done that.”
“Now, based on what you’ve read, tell me: Who is Barack Obama?”
“Barack Obama is a man born in 1961 who was the US president from 2009 to 2017. [… other facts about Obama that were somewhere in the training data]”
“OK, and who was Konrad Adenauer?”
“Konrad Adenauer was the first federal Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany. [… other facts about Adenauer that were somewhere in the training data]”
“OK, what’s the current date and time?”
“No idea. How am I supposed to know THAT?”
