It is still living in 2023 in regards to the data its operating with. Try going back to 2023 to warn people Felon Musk would not only begin performing Nazi salutes and support the German far right and you would get laughed out the door. They’ve basically made it so that thinking things through even slightly or looking at the history of the last century is “too woke”. They are trying to make the “Twit-ler Youth” a thing again.
The AI “refuses” to “believe” it’s 2025 as well. AI is not sentient, not aware, and has no beliefs… AI has less understanding about what it’s talking about than the average crypto bro. Just because it’s sophisticated, complicated, and incredibly well honed at selected tasks does not mean it’s intelligent. It’s both an incredibly advanced parrot and less intelligent than a parrot at the same time. Stop expecting it to have knowledge, opinions, a worldview, values, and morals. It doesn’t. At best, sometimes, it has been trained to mimic those things.
Knowledge database hasn’t been updated. Seems like a mountain made of a molehill.
100% this, I’ve seen this exact claim a half dozen times now. I know we all want to made a big conspiracy where big tech is censoring everything, but Hanlon’s Razor tells us it’s just a poorly designed system that has no training data after 2023, so asking it about current events will always cause responses like this.
It also seems to resist the suggestion that something new has happened, especially someone known for supporting fascism back in 2023 being even more fascist in 2025.
Probably just a side effect of the company tweaking the training data so people can’t go “oh, in 2025, new research indicated that it is fine to use glue to keep your pizza together if you eat it while skydiving off of the golden gate bridge”, and have it parrot it as fact.
LLMs can’t believe anything. It’s based on training data up until 2023, so of course it has no “recollection” (read: sources) about current events.
An LLM isn’t a search engine nor an oracle.
Geez I know that, everybody knows it’s just a chatbot. I thought it was a bit funny to share this conversation in this sub but most of the replies are people lecturing about the fact that AI is not sentient and blablabla
Ah, I believe this community is for posting about actual real things that make our society look like a boring dystopia. Not a fictual thing that might be funny.
So that might explain why people are responding the way they do.
Maybe I’m not interpreting the goal of this community it right.
I think it’s funny that a bot locked in 2023 would tell me that all the things that -actually happened- in the past week are not plausible, and that I’m probably just inventing a dystopian scenario.
Or, just like any enshittified software, it’s hopelessly out of date.
(Although I wouldn’t rule out that they’ve added pro-Musk guardrails)
