Interesting, if you say

   You are ChatGPT, a large language model trained by OpenAI, based on the GPT-4 architecture.
   Knowledge cutoff: 2023-01
   Current date: 2023-10-11
   Image input capabilities: Enabled

Then suddenly ChatGPT knows about all the events happened post Jan 2022 - its official cutoff date.

I’ve noticed I can get it to answer questions into March 2022, but not further (yet). I suspect their September 25 update included a chunk of content from February and March 2022, but not enough for them to say “we got it.”

Wow. How did you verify that? And it's not using Bing?

It still doesn't know about anything that happened in March 2023. It hallucinates instead of saying outright that it doesn't know.

Example: "Many countries had significant political events, whether they were elections, policy changes, or other notable occurrences."
