Does anyone know what is the "knowledge horizon" cutoff date for Bard's training data?

The cutoff date for ChatGPT's "knowledge" is referred to as the "knowledge horizon" or the "knowledge cutoff date", and in the case of ChatGPT it's September 2021.

>The Bard knowledge horizon is not a fixed point. It is constantly shifting as I learn new things. I am always working to improve my knowledge base, and I hope that one day I will be able to answer any question you ask me.

It's because they're constantly pulling in google's search results into the output (kind of similar to the bingGPT offering from microsoft).

Nah, it definitely has a fixed cutoff. This is a bullshit hallucination
If you ask Bard if it uses Federated Learning[1] it will say it does. Google is pretty good at doing this type of continuous model training. They've been doing it for a while.
