Saw this in an another thread previously and immediately installed it. I have a new prompt to test LLMs much like simonw's pelican test. "What is 9:30am Taiwan time in US, Pacific?" For some reason, the answers are quite inconsistent but all wrong. ./apfel "what is 9:30am Taiwan time in US, Pacific?" Taiwan is 12 hours ahead of the Pacific Time Zone. Therefore, 9:30 AM Taiwan time would be 9:30 PM Pacific Time. Taiwan is 13 hours ahead of the Pacific Time Zone. Therefore, 9:30 AM in Taiwan is 10:30 PM in the Pacific Time Zone. Taiwan is in the China Standard Time (CST) zone, which is 12 hours ahead of the Pacific Standard Time (PST) zone. Therefore, 9:30 AM in Taiwan is 9:30 PM in the Pacific. Taiwan is typically 11 hours ahead of the Pacific Time Zone. Therefore, 9:30 AM in Taiwan is 8:30 PM in the Pacific Time Zone. Taiwan is 13 hours ahead of the Pacific Time Zone. Therefore, 9:30 AM in Taiwan is 10:30 PM the previous day in the Pacific Time Zone.

What a neat LLM question! Most of my results were the same as what you posted except for the first time I asked it which resulted in this pretty interesting answer: Taiwan is in the Taiwan Standard Time (TST) zone, which is UTC+8, while the Pacific Time (PT) zone is UTC-7. To convert 9:30 AM Taiwan time to Pacific Time: 1. Subtract 15 hours (since 8 hours ahead is 15 hours behind). 9:30 AM - 15 hours = 6:30 AM PT. So, 9:30 AM Taiwan time is 6:30 AM Pacific Time. Never thought to use an llm for time zone stuff. Seems like it struggles as much as a normal person, which makes some sense given what they're trained with.
