Knowing what time it is now, and telling the user the timer has completed, are two separate things.
How useful is a “oh by the way your timer ended three hours ago” tacked on to the end of the next interaction?
In the video, ChatGPT was actually being used as a stopwatch instead of a countdown timer.
How about making it prompt itself when the timer ends? That solves "BTW it ended"
