The date in ChatGPT's prompt is there so the model can know when its training data ends. So if you ask it about something that happens in 2023, it can tell you that its training data cuts off in 2021 and it doesn't have knowledge of current events. Current LLM architectures do not enable functionality like "answer this question using only data from before 2010". It is possible future architectures might enable this, though.
