My experience exactly.

I no longer check with these AI tools after a number of attempts. Unrelated, a friend thought there was a NFL football game last Saturday at noon. Checking with Google's Gemini, it said "no", but there was one between two teams whose season had ended two weeks before at 1:00 Eastern Time and 2:00 Central. (The times are backwards.)

I mean, some are capable of searching the web.

Ask them about the fire in LA in 2025 January.

Meta.ai got it right. The free chatGPT only has data up till 2021 or something like that.

I don't think the notion of "current" has been explained to them. Thay just define it out of context.
