AI’s got some serious skills—writing novels, cracking complex problems—but ask it to tell time like a kindergartener, and it’s suddenly all thumbs. Turns out, even the big names like GPT-4o and Gemini 2.0 can’t quite get their heads around clocks and calendars, botching it more than 75% of the time. Go figure, right? 
Why it matters: If we’re ever going to trust AI with the real world—think scheduling your day or running autonomous systems—it’s gotta master time. And right now, that’s a big ‘if’.
The kicker: GPT-o1, the top dog of the bunch, only managed to get calendar questions right 80% of the time. So, unless you’re cool with your New Year’s Eve party happening in March, maybe keep the planning to yourself.
