Meta AI invented my location, then repeatedly asked me for my real location — and later gave contradictory explanatio

POST ALSO AVAILABLE IN r/antiai

I’m posting this because I’d like to know whether anyone else has experienced something similar with Meta AI on WhatsApp.
During a conversation, Meta AI spontaneously mentioned Tarragona, Spain as an example. I had never told it that I was there, and I have never been to Tarragona or configured it as my location in WhatsApp or on my device.
The important part came afterwards: the model started treating Tarragona as if it were my actual location and repeatedly asked me to provide my “real” location, even though my location was completely irrelevant to the tasks I was asking it to perform.
When I challenged it, it initially said Tarragona had simply been a generic example. Later, after further questioning, it changed its explanation and claimed that Tarragona had actually come from a “system context” containing my location.
I then tested this further.
The model also:
invented a WhatsApp setting called Settings → Meta AI → Memory, claiming I could view and delete information stored about me there;
invented a Report button on Meta AI messages that does not exist in my WhatsApp interface;
corrected both claims only after I explicitly challenged them;
repeatedly suggested deleting the conversation as one of the easiest privacy measures;
after I cleared the conversation, continued to reference the previous context.
When I asked it to distinguish between information it could actually verify and information it was merely inferring, it eventually admitted that it could not independently verify the source of the supposed location data.
I am not claiming that Meta is secretly tracking my physical location. I don’t have evidence for that.
The issue I’m reporting is narrower:
The model introduced a location that I had never provided, subsequently treated it as a personal attribute, repeatedly asked me for the real location despite it being unnecessary, and then produced contradictory explanations about where the original location came from.
I’m documenting the full conversation and submitting it to Meta as a potential privacy/context-handling and hallucination issue.
Has anyone else seen Meta AI:
attribute a location to you that you never provided;
ask you to “correct” an AI-generated location;
claim that a hallucinated piece of information came from system metadata;
invent WhatsApp settings or privacy controls when asked about data handling?
I’m particularly interested in whether this happens consistently with WhatsApp Meta AI or whether it was specific to my conversation.

consiglio sul nome

Vi suona bene Cecilia Massa?
È anche il nome che mi avrebbero dato i miei. Sono indecisa tra Cecilia ed Aurora al momento.
EDIT: ovviamente so che il nome è una scelta personale, volevo capire come suona agli sconosciuti

Need help from older trans women. I feel stuck.

Hi everyone. I’m a 16 year old lesbian trans girl from Italy.
This is going to be a bit of a text wall, but I could really use some advice.
My parents aren’t openly transphobic, but I don’t feel safe coming out yet. The good part is that I have an amazing girlfriend who supports me a lot. I have access to her wardrobe full of feminine clothes, I wear Vollence DD breast forms held in place with a very tight chest band and a bra, and she helps me with outfits, makeup, and pretty much everything else.
My dysphoria comes and goes. Sometimes it’s manageable, other times it becomes almost obsessive depending on the situation.
Right now, there are a few things that make presenting as female really difficult. My voice doesn’t pass at all. I’ve tried voice training, but I haven’t had much success. My ADHD makes it incredibly hard to stay consistent with exercises, and every time I give up I end up feeling even worse about myself.
I’ve also tried tucking underwear, but it honestly hasn’t worked very well. Unfortunately, although I guess it’s a good thing if I ever get penile inversion vaginoplasty in the future, I have a lot of tissue down there and I really struggle to get a flat look, especially if I want to wear skirts. One of my biggest dreams is going to the beach as myself, but I feel ridiculous in regular swimsuits. Even swim shorts don’t really solve the problem, and purpose made trans swimwear is way outside my budget.
I’ve seriously considered DIY HRT several times. The problem is that noticeable breast growth would create huge problems with my family and with people around me who don’t know I’m trans. Many of them are very conservative, Catholic, and openly transphobic, so coming out just isn’t an option right now.
My question is about microdosing. Is there any evidence that taking very low doses of antiandrogens and estrogen could slow or partially pause puberty enough to preserve better long term HRT results? I’m mainly thinking about things like facial masculinization, preventing facial hair from developing (I barely have any yet), and stopping my body hair from getting thicker.
I’ve searched online but haven’t found a clear answer, so I figured I’d ask people here who might have personal experience or know the research better.
Thank you for reading, and thank you in advance for any advice. Stay strong, girls. ❤️
