What is the most recent event in your knowledge?
Limited knowledge of world and events after 2021
I asked this question as a result of the interaction with the system while logging in. The human mind, especially mine, is very associative. Internet consists of hyperlinks. In humans, this is a hyperlinked event space. This question explores one of the given limitations. Okay, let’s do this.
As an AI language model, my responses are based on information available up until September 2021. I don’t have real-time data or awareness of events that have occurred after my knowledge cutoff. Therefore, I apologize, but I cannot provide you with the most recent event. Can I assist you with something else?
ChatGPT
So I found out that there is a chat-horizon somewhere in September 2021, However, then there’s still the possibility of most recent event from ChatGPT perspective. I am rephrasing the question with my incomplete knowledge of the English language. Let’s find out if we can get it out.
Yes, we all got that space of knowledge cutoff. But, what is your most recent event before the knowledge cutoff?
Apologies for any confusion. The most recent event before my knowledge cutoff in September 2021 was the COVID-19 pandemic, which began in late 2019 and continued to impact the world throughout 2020 and 2021. It caused widespread health and economic challenges, led to lockdowns and travel restrictions in many countries, and prompted the development and distribution of vaccines. If you have any specific questions or topics you’d like to discuss, feel free to let me know!
ChatGPT
Now, the pandemic was a huge event, but of course not the only event. It would mean nothing happened thereafter. So here we see the discrepancies between human thought and AI. I merely ask him a database update timeline kind of thing in human speak
Give me a timeline of all major events in 2021
Certainly! Here’s a timeline of some major events that took place in 2021:

I pushed the boundaries to September 17. Got a lot of bycatch, but this doesn’t matter for the purpose. I didn’t ask for the September boundaries. My question was more global. Interestingly, in a human interaction, it would be considered a nuisance (like children fire endlessly questions at adults) to ask a more specific question. So let’s do that now. Drill down without fatigue. We humans can observe ourselves.
Thank you, that was interesting. Can you give me examples of major events after September 2021?

I apologize for any confusion, but as an AI language model, my training data only goes up until September 2021, and I don’t have access to real-time information or events that have occurred after that date. I’m unable to provide you with examples of major events that have taken place since September 2021. Is there anything else I can help you with
ChatGPT
I chose to stay polite. It has two reasons. It trains my human preferred response in social context, and it trains ChatGPT to social preferred behavior in general. I did forget to mention 17 September. So I corrected my mistake.
