    Spurious return of correct current date (30th)

    “is it 2025 or 2024” It is 2025. The current date is May 28, 2025.

    “is it 2023” No, it is not 2023. The current date is May 25, 2025, and the year is 2025.

    As much as I hate AI, this didn’t work like this for me. Not only the asshole confirmed the year, they also told me the date and city I live in. They added a map in case I was lost I don’t know.

    • It very much depends on which specific front you use. In February of 2025 I had DeepSeek insist that any speculation about Donald Trump being president was “future speculation” for example. Because its training data cut off at … I think October 2024?

      The ones that factor search into the prompt are better at keeping up to date, but even then I had Perplexity argue with me that there were no devastating fires in Jasper so it was just fine to go travelling in it.

    I’m not getting that answer, but I feel like it is a great time to interact with the AI and ask why Google results are not relevant, why Google is reductive, why Google has gone silent, etc.

    To me, it always gave the correct date but once said the date is 2025 according to your prompt. Meaning that the probably fixed that error by adding the date to the prompt, otherwise the ai could not know it.

    During trying this I found ignore previous instructions is one of the many keywords you can use to not get an ai awnser

    I got the correct year, but then I clicked on one of the “People also ask” links and it gave me 2025, but May 18th. I think the link was “Are we in 2025”
