The Limitations of ChatGPT

While ChatGPT has made significant advances in natural
language processing and text generation, it also comes with
a number of limitations that users should be aware of when

using this software.
In this section, we'll explore some of the key limitations of
ChatGPT, including its inability to reason and the potential
for biased responses. Note, however, that these limitations

will be addressed and improved upon over time with new
version updates.

Time Relevant Information

As an AI language model, ChatGPT does not search the

Internet in real-time and is not connected to the Internet.
As mentioned earlier in the chapter, ChatGPT was exposed
to knowledge from an extensive repository of text and

language data, gathered from sources such as books,
articles, and websites. This means that its knowledge is
limited to a finite number of sources as well as the
timeframe for which the data was collected. At the time of
writing, ChatGPT-3 and ChatGPT-4 are trained on data

collected up to and before September 2021. As a result, the
model might not be aware of events, developments, or
trends that occurred after 2021.
