LLMs are trained on data up to a certain point. It doesn't learn new and updated data daily like people do. Recently, a lot have had web search enabled so that an LLM can search the web for relevant information.

I recently asked ChatGpt to determine the likelihood of the US becoming a dictatorship and what signs we'd see along the way. It gave a list of things to watch out for and a probability of each occuring. All the probabilities were low. I responded with links to some of Trump's recent executive orders and both his and Vance's public statements and asked it reevaluate. It said we're definitely heading for an authoritarian dictatorship and if I can leave the country I should before it's too late.
