AI Logic

Or rather the absence of logic!

Coincidental to OpenAI having problems with ChatGPT today, this morning I stumbled upon this funny reply from ChatGPT. It began with me finding an old planner that I have not used, from 2022. Not wanting to waste it, I thought it would be useful if the dates still match this years date, i.e. 10 June is still Tuesday, but I know dates shift a few days every year.

So I asked ChatGPT, when in the next years that, I would be able to reuse the planner with the days are all matched to the year 2022.

Here’s the answer:

If you have a 2022 planner and want to align it with the calendar again, you’ll need a non‑leap year that:

1. Has 365 days (like 2022), and
2. Starts on the same weekday as 2022 (which began on a Saturday).

📅 Upcoming match:

The next year that fits this is 2033—11 years after 2022  .

There were also matching years before 2022, like 2011 . But looking forward, 2033 is your earliest opportunity to reuse the 2022 planner directly—dates and weekdays will align perfectly.

If you need to reuse it now, you’d have to go back to one of the past matching years—but unfortunately, none are now or in the near future before 2033.

Would you like info on any earlier matching years—or tips on tracking dates manually?

Yeah thanks ChatGPT, if I have a Time Machine, going back to 2011 to use a 2022 planner would be the last thing on my mind!

For all the nodes and tokens available to AI, there is no capability to discern between the truth and reality, i.e. it doesn’t know that time travelling is not possible.

Or is it?

Thanks for reading.
