Another easy test is to ask a question, note the answer, then clear the chat and repeat the same question. Do this over and over again and you’ll see varying responses because the majority of it is just made up instead of pooled information from somewhere.
A lot of those LLM models are just good for roleplaying purposes. But even the large commercial models that actually were trained on a lot of potentially valuable information have this issue, which is why you should never blindly trust LLM answers.
The model is just hallucinating. It has no capacity to execute code on its own and most FOSS clients of course won’t send anything back to meta.
Damn thing doesn’t even know it’s running locally. Just ask it. And it can’t tell the time.

Of course not. They don’t have any external info other than what you provide them. They don’t know the concept of “running local” at all
