New Knowledge Cutoff

Sam Altman announced that ChatGPT products will now have a new knowledge cutoff of April 2023. The old knowledge cutoff was September 2021, a significant limitation of the world’s leading generative AI company. Altman said the company “will try not to let it get that out of date again.” The knowledge cutoff is a limitation that Elon Musk’s Grok, launched last weekend, does not have. Because Grok is connected to X’s live tweets, there is no knowledge cutoff. However, this is probably the one good thing about Grok compared to GPT-4 Turbo, as Grok is significantly limited in nearly every other regard.
