> No, 2024 is not a leap year. Leap years are years divisible by 4, except for years that are divisible by 100 unless they are also divisible by 400. Therefore, the next leap year will be 2024.
As the proud new owner of a leap day baby, I find this to be extra hilarious
I was at the hospital and heard two babies being born. I love that music.
Congratulations!
Congratulations!

Big savings on parties and cake!

Apparently it reads 2024 as two different numbers: 202 and 4
thats better then Mistral... it "thinks" it is March 15th 2023

"The current date is March 15, 2023. However, please note that as a large language model, my knowledge is based on the data I was trained on, which is up to 2021. Therefore, I cannot provide real-time information or updates on current events or dates. I recommend checking a reliable source such as a calendar or a trusted news website for the most accurate and up-to-date information."

It is March 1 in many places
It's UTC. Ask it what day was yesterday.
As of 10 PM US/Eastern, ChatGPT 3.5 answers as follows for me:

> You: what is today's date?

> ChatGPT: Today's date is February 29, 2024. Please note that February 29 occurs only in leap years. If you have any more questions or if there's anything else I can help you with, feel free to ask!

openai actually in their platform for billing, etc shows that its actually march 1 as well.
