   I remember when the US captured Venezuelan president Maduro, and when I posed a prompt related to this, the model said that’s pure fiction. I told it to double check. Still didn’t want to entertain the idea. It only acquiesced when I specifically directed it to check Reuters. I haven’t noticed this problem in months. Model cutoff seems to be less of a problem these days.

      >the model said that’s pure fiction.

      Were you expecting your model to be updated on current events? Why?

      Also the specific event you are referring to is a statistically very improbable event, prior to its actually happening.

      >It only acquiesced when I specifically directed it to check Reuters.

      Do all models do this? They check in with Reuters? Why would a model think that you asking about an extremely improbable event warranted reaching out to Reuters?

         He asked it to double check. It's reasonable to expect the LLM to handle that trivial task.
