Bug Report: ChatGPT refuses to offer help on recent things and try to convince user they all are fake
`Steps to Reproduce`

Ask ChatGPT to help you with recent events. For example, you can ask about Nintendo Switch 2 or Hytale. It will tell you these things don't exist. Tell it again that they do exist, even showing screenshots and links. It will refuse to offer any more help and say everything's fake. Then ask it to search the internet for such a thing. It will do this. But then ask it again. It will tell you it doesn't exist in reality and all the results in the internet are fake.

`Expected Result`

Since ChatGPT doesn't have info on recent events, the best approach would be to give the user the opportunity to be right about this and have it search the internet only when it sees that the user is certain something exists but isn't in its database. Once it's proven that all of this actually exists, it should stop denying it and use the info it found online, giving more help about the topic without trying to convince anything else.

`Actual Result`

ChatGPT lacks recent data, so it refuses to help with current issues. You can show it screenshots, links, and more to prove it exists, but it will deny everything. You could even ask it to search online, but then it'll still deny everything and say the internet information is all false. So it'll never help you with the real problem.

`Environment`

All platforms
