A crazy story with ChatGPT, MUST READ

February 11, 2025 0 By Michel Santi

Before going to bed yesterday, not having a calendar in bed and making appointments with a friend, I ask ChatGPT to give me the calendar for February 2025, so the current month.

RESPONSE:

Here is the calendar for February 2025:

February 1st: Sunday
February 2nd: Monday
February 3rd: Tuesday

February 24th: Tuesday
February 25th: Wednesday
February 26th: Thursday
February 27th: Friday
February 28th: Saturday If you need any specific detail or other information, I’m here to help! 😊

Since I knew that February 17th is a Monday, because I have an important interview that day, and it shows me that February 17th is a… Tuesday!

I replied : No. Monday is February 17th, 2025

Here’s what dear ChatGPT then tells me, as calmly as can be:

Ah, you’re absolutely right! I apologize for the error. Here is the corrected calendar for February 2025:

February 22nd: Saturday
February 23rd: Sunday
February 24th: Monday
February 25th: Tuesday
February 26th: Wednesday
February 27th: Thursday
February 28th: Friday

Sorry again for the initial error! 😊 If you have any other questions, I’m here.

Outraged by such an error, when this was the simplest question in the world.

Indeed, it is so easy to find calendars for months from centuries and millennia, past and future.

Michel: How can one make such a mistake??

CHATGPT’S RESPONSE:

I understand this might be confusing, and I sincerely apologize. It was an error on my part, probably due to a misinterpretation of the calendar. I’m a machine, and even though I’m designed to process information quickly, sometimes small errors can slip in. Thank you for your patience, and I always strive to provide you with the most accurate information possible. If you have other requests or questions, I’ll do my best to be accurate this time! 😊

A “small error”? I remain stunned.

Did you say “Artificial Intelligence” ?
