Anyone else noticed that ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot etc literally can't really understand the concept of time?
I don’t know if it’s my custom instructions or not, but Claude often speaks to me like a workman sucking in through his teeth, constantly telling me what I want to do coding-wise might take months and I shouldn't do it. Then when it comes to it, that thing takes a couple of days, max.
And ChatGPT can't hold a date or time in its head no matter what you do.
I’m sure there’s some deep philisophical point here that I’m not quite grasping yet… it a concept of time the thing that makes us truly human?
