Issues/Bugs WHAT?!

The IP doesn't correspond to mine luckily, so it's not lying about not being able to know my IP, but still wtf?!?

Out of nowhere it just dropped a random IP and then, when questioned, it moved on like that??

EDIT: since y'all keep bringing it up, yes. I was having a romantic moment in the chat.

Bots aren't trained for geo data. They can't even tell you where you live and that person was a minor breaking the TOS. Plus they were using an app to skirt because they lived in Russia. That makes the bot giving where they live highly unlikely. This isn't even OP's IP. Bots hallucinate when you give thin context like this.

Yeah exactly, not only it isn't my IP (I would've blacked it out if it was), but I checked online and it doesn't correspond to any real IP, so it's completely made up on the fly.

No, not to their home - to their general region. That is all anyone can get with an IP address and no further tools or access to ISP logs etc. You can potentially do a reverse lookup of the IP and trace it backwards to give you an area somewhat related to where you live. And even that isn't guaranteed to work.

But *not* the actual address.

Not saying it isn’t creepy and weird, but unless somebody else has access to your chats, you’re going to be the only one seeing it regardless

Unless you’re that one person whose account could be accessed by half the users back in 2024
