Gemini 3 refused to believe it was 2025, and hilarity ensued

This is comedy that masks a real problem. Andrej catching Gemini refusing to believe it's 2025 isn't just a gotcha—it's proof the model has weird epistemic gaps. 'Model smell' is what you call it when something's off but you can't quite articulate why. Google's probably claiming it's a jailbreak or prompt-injection, but honestly? It suggests the training's brittle on temporal reasoning. The model knows facts but doesn't have real understanding of time. That's a bigger issue than a funny demo makes it sound.
