ChatGPT still does not display per-message timestamps (time of day / date) in conversations.

This has been requested consistently since early 2023 on the OpenAI community forum, with hundreds of comments and upvotes and deleted threads, yet remains unimplemented.

Do any of you could think of a reason (UX-wise) for it not to be displayed?

It's ugly, why it isn't at least exposed as an option to enable for power users would make me look at some advantage time stamps would give to an inference scraper or possibly their service APIs don't have contemporaneous access to the metadata available from the web interface.

Regular people hate numbers.

Not a joke. To capture a wide audience you want to avoid numbers, among other technical niceties.
