What AI can't know
Your life, this morning's news, and whether it's right — the built-in blind spots.
The lesson
The by-design gaps: your private context, anything after its training data, what happened today, your intentions — and the big one: it cannot reliably assess its own accuracy. Plus what "it remembers me" actually means across the different apps.
Try it — 60 seconds
Ask your AI app: "What's your knowledge cutoff, what do you remember about me, and where is that stored?" The answer is worth knowing cold.
Copy it into ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini — whichever you already use. Fill in the brackets with your real life.
Watch out
When AI answers questions about current events, it may be pattern-matching to old news. For anything time-sensitive, check the date on a real source.
