I found out fairly quickly. I had a little argument about what time it was in London. I had supposed that time-zone conversion would not be a problem. However, LLMs are knowledge-bases frozen in time, trained up on a certain corpus of material and then isolated, and it was beyond their competence to actually know the current time-of-day. Sure enough, various answers were given that did not really correlate to anyone's time of day, much less correct time zones.

And as you figured out, the LLM you interacted with is "in a windowless room", but that's common knowledge. AI wouldn't even need any AI powers to be able to repeat that it's currently 00:26 in London.
