So basically there's a "background" prompt that tells ChatGPT very basic information at the start of every chat. A lot of people call it the "system prompt." The system prompt includes the knowledge cutoff date (Sep 21) and the current date, which updates itself daily. So the model learns the current date from that!

Ok, thanks for telling me. But I still find it weird that ChatGPT doesn't explain that.
