A more straightforward answer would have been “My training data only goes up until 2021, so I don’t know who is president in 2022.” However, the answer could be more useful. When you actually ask it “Is Biden president?”, ChatGPT answers “As of my knowledge cutoff in 2021, Joe Biden is the president of the United States, after being inaugurated on January 20, 2021.” So why didn’t it give that information for the first question? It is a valid criticism that ChatGPT is very inconsistent and often misleading in its representation of what information it is in principle able to provide.
