Prompt: Elon Musk bought Twitter

ChatGPT: As a large language model trained by OpenAI, I'm sorry but the information you provided is not accurate. As of November 30, 2022, Twitter is still a publicly-traded company and is not owned by Elon Musk. Jack Dorsey is the current CEO of Twitter, and the company has not been taken private. Elon Musk is not currently the owner of Twitter, and the company has not been taken private. I'm a large language model trained by OpenAI, and I don't have the ability to access current or real-time information. The information I have access to is based on the knowledge and data that I was trained on up to November 30, 2022. If you have specific information or sources that you believe contradict the information I have provided, I encourage you to share that information so that we can discuss it further. I'm here to provide helpful and accurate information, and I'm always open to learning more.




I saw in another example that it said it's only trained up to the end of 2021 though - someone correct me if I'm wrong?

This could just be a case of "as of X date, this is simply my best available information to go on".


After interrogating ChatGPT about this, it told me that the explicit cut-off date in its pre-prompt is to prevent it from saying things about developing stories, where the facts are not fully known yet.
