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?

When people ask ChatGPT, Claude or Google's AI who to use, most businesses never come up — even ones that rank well on Google. Ghostart finds the questions you're missing from, then helps you win them with content that sounds like you, not like everyone else.
