AI Chatbots Evolve Fast, Yet ChatGPT Still Can’t Show the Current Time

AI chatbots have become super advanced today. They are able to perform tasks like coding, browsing the web, analyzing data, and generating images in mere seconds. Surprisingly, LLMs such as ChatGPT and Cloudude still cannot do one very simple task: telling the time.

Each time a user has asked ChatGPT what time it is, the response has clearly stated that the AI "doesn't have access to a real-time clock." In other words, it cannot access your phone or computer for the time. Therefore, ChatGPT advises users to check the time displayed on their device.

AI experts explain that this limitation is actually related to the structure of these models. According to AI robotics expert Yeravant Kulbashian, an LLM processes only information that falls within the context window of a conversation.
