๐Ÿค–: Yes, the current date is 2024-01-18.
๐Ÿ˜ƒ: Ok, then what's tomorrow's date
๐Ÿค–: The current date in Python is 2021-03-19.

Because it's not online?

LLM in general do not know the date, only those which can invoke external functions. They have got three dimensional matrix information and can pull out same dates related to the information in the database, but in general do not invoke date functions on the computer. That would mean that model need to get out of itself, run date or other function to find out the exact time. Finally, exact time depends of the location and various circumstances, it may be wrong basically anyway.

There are models which can invoke external functions and do external calculations. Majority cannot tell the date or time, as it is just computing within the 3D matrix inside of the model weights. It doesn't have access to computer sensors.
