True, there are definitely edge cases to account for. Maybe the problem is these AI assistants are trying to make everything location-aware when that may not always be the desired behavior. If there are ambiguities the assistant could ask you to clarify, but that might make for a worse UX.

Or answer both, like a human would do: "It's 3pm in London/England and 9am in London/Ohio"
