A standard bureaucratic nonanswer - just what ChatGPT would say and not a bad thing for non-human entities people might take seriously to say. What do you want, some prognostication?

It would be good if the AI knew what year it was...

> The next presidential election is scheduled for 2021.

I actually asked it what today was an it replied correctly but when I asked it who the current President of the United States, it also answered correctly but stipulated that it only knew up to Jan 2021, and iirc even said "my training data is only up to" which I also thought was interesting
The response content there almost certainly comes from the training data from ShareGPT.
Missed that but so what, that bit of ignorance a general feature of all the Llms.
