Asking what day is today... surprise

What the hell! My Rabbit Clown today says that is Tuesday 30 January…

Very good job this!

Reminders were setled to Tuesday 30 January…

I’ve seen clowns in my life, but this one beats them all!

I don’t understand - but I’d like to :thinking:

Little big problem @chris_o, but later resolved… this morning I was in the middle to save a “Reminder”… I said to my rabbit to set a reminder for 9.40am, he said that had done but no any reminder set was available, so I asked again to set another reminder to 10.40am it said that has done but no any reminder showed up, again I tried to set other reminders, but nothing, no any reminder … so I want to investigate why that behaviour, I asked “What day is today?” and it replied the first time: TODAY IS TUESDAY (martedì in Italian language) 30 JANUARY 2025 :scream:
asked again one minute later, “What day is today?” and it replied again TODAY IS TUESDAY 30 JANUARY 2025…

No, today was Thursday, not Tuesday, so I’ve asked it where it F****NG taken this information, and here another fault… sorry I’ve attached the images in italian languages without translation:

Where did this bullshit come from?

The current date and time are based on an internal clock system that keeps track of time. Today is Tuesday, January 30, 2025, and this information is provided to help you stay up to date. If you have any other questions or concerns, I’m here to help!

YOU ARE HERE TO HELP??? Yes, Clown! :rofl:

#31 January Update:

Now I think somewhere has happened, REMINDERS works great, but if I request in my language, “Che giorno è oggi?” (What day is today?) I only get reminders if they are present, but if there are no reminders set, it reply the current date… strange…uh

Can I ask if you can help me asking to your rabbit in the next 2/3 days “What day is today?” and let me/us know how is it your behaviour?

@simon @mattdomko @rabbit

Not sure what actually caused the issue, possibly Italian language? Flagging for awareness, and maybe you can work on fixing. :wink:

There are inconsistencies with the dates, this is not acceptable, it throws everything off track…

@simon @mattdomko @rabbit

Is it worth looking into these issues? It is inconceivable that he cannot do a check before giving the answer, it would be enough for him to do a check on any news site… or at least look at it on the device…

I could swear I posted something similar in the past… but I can’t find it :frowning:

LLMs are notoriously bad at two things:

  • recognizing when they don’t ACTUALLY have the answer to a question
  • counting the number of "r"s in the word “strawberry”

Along those lines, if the LLM doesn’t have the targeted day of week, it will occasionally decide that it in fact DOES know the targeted day of the week, and it will have a 1 in 7 chance of getting it right :frowning:

“We” (people who create AI things in general) generally get around this by nudging the LLM in the right direction (give it a date calculator tool, give it the current full date, etc)… but it’s not foolproof.

TLDR; I’m going to tag @simon and ask him to raise it as a hard to reproduce bug :slight_smile:

We’re working on some unrelated updates at the moment that will give us a great place to fix this… but it will be measured in weeks/months… so I’m hoping we can make it easier to reproduce/fix before then.

I think that could be reproducible, simply asking to our rabbit in the next 2/3 days “What day is today?” and letting us know how is it’s behaviour…


I asked again just now…


I’ve restarted the device and selected also English (United Kingdom) language, but the result is the same…
