The way you describe your interaction is fundamentally flawed.
At no point was it trying to convince you of something.
At no point does it have any clue that "events occur in some order". Or that "time is ordered"...
At no point will you EVER be able to "convince it otherwise".
This is a language model. All it knows is that "in my training set, something said something akin to the two English words: 'ordered events'". It has no model of facts, deduction, or logic, as long as its results are a reasonable approximation of the English language as influenced by your prompt.

I don’t attribute any actual agency to ChatGPT, of course. The lack of self-reflection, of logical reasoning ability and associated memory is what makes ChatGPT useless for the use cases I’d actually find interesting.
