Current Date Issue

[1980Dragon]

Hello.

I asked about the top news on June 4, 2023, and observed the process of HuggingChat's web search.

While the search and retrieval of results went smoothly, there seemed to be a misinterpretation of the obtained information due to a misunderstanding of the current date. It resulted in the inability to process the acquired information correctly, leading to errors. It seems like there might be a need for addressing the model's understanding of the "current date".

I am grateful for the availability of this impressive open-source chatbot and hope that it continues to evolve and improve.

I hope the AI is not lying?

Yeah maybe we should tweak the preprompt to include the current date, that might alleviate some of these issues ? :eyes: Seems like a common theme

Yes, I would at least explore if this works better.

Beside the date, maybe also give the AI awareness about the current time :)

Since this is incorrect:

@nsarrazin can you assign this to me?

@nsarrazin can you assign this to me?

Sure thing!

[nsarrazin]

I think this is fixed now!

[melroy89]

Is it also aware of the current time..?

[melroy89]

@nsarrazin Are you sure the problem is resolved? Asking the date, will give me this. Please re-open!?

[nsarrazin]

Ah you're right, the date is being fed when using the web search but not in regular conversation. Reopening this
