When I tried to use it as an AI CEO and Life Coach, it never was able to discern time passing, what I've already done, what needed to be done. It just said the same stuff over and over, stuff I've already done. That and it's kind of stuck in the era it was trained in. If it felt time passing like a human maybe it would be conscious?
Nevertheless not having a sense of time makes it really bad at planning anything. I used Gemini Pro.
There's no need to "estimate" it. "Time" is not something built into training and sampling a generative distribution. He might as well have told you your Naive Bayes email filters will measure time passed.
I've seen this mentioned a few times though, so I think maybe it's more complicated than this?
