It’s therefore essential to keep an eye out for updates
regarding ChatGPT’s most recent knowledge cutoff date, or
alternatively explore other software applications with a
more recent cutoff date to access real-time knowledge if
you want to generate content based on recent events. If
you are a fiction author or a 20th Century history teacher,
then obviously, you won’t have to worry so much about
ChatGPT’s latest cutoff date.
Inability to Reason
The next limitation of ChatGPT is its inability to reason like a
human. While the model can quickly generate responses
based on patterns it has learned from the training data (the
dataset used to train the model), it lacks the ability to
understand the underlying concepts or make logical
deductions. This means that it may struggle to answer
complex questions that require critical thinking or problem-
solving, especially for questions that require more than just
a simple factual response.
Two examples of questions that require reasoning and logic
to answer include: “What is the best way to reduce carbon
emissions using AI technology but without negatively
impacting the economy and amplifying inflation?” and
“What are the ethical implications of using gene editing
technologies to enhance human intelligence and could we
see North Korea as an early adopter to this technology?”
While ChatGPT may be able to piece together some
information related to these topics, it typically struggles to
offer a comprehensive and nuanced argument.
ChatGPT's predictive abilities are also limited, and the
model cannot accurately forecast future events and trends
through logical reasoning or extrapolation.
