No reason to be snarky with people. They mean whatever time it currently is or will be.

Are you sure though?

If they copied that date from some automated system it might as well be any of these.

Humans usually say “New York time”.

In my experience, humans never say "New York time", or "San Francisco time", or anything like that, they say "EST" and "PST" regardless of whether daylight saving's is on.

I'm guilty of this too, since I can never remember which part of the year constitutes "on" and which is "off", only where the boundaries are. If I stop and think I can usually remember "spring ahead is turning it on", but never off the top of my head.
