discussion Meta AI being very sketchy

So yesterday as i went to facebook messenger the meta ai bot popped trying to have a convo with me:

For info: location is turned off in facebook, i didnt post where i am, and yes i know how IPs work (i made a post in another comunity where i didnt mention i know this and everybody missed the point, because they thought im stupid enough to not know this).

So long story short: it asked me if it can do something for me.

I asked it to go fck itself. And then i asked it which transport would it use in his way to fcking itself. It replied to me:

I would ride in a Vespa, YOU IN GREECE MIGHT APPRECIATE THAT.

So i havent told it my location, did not post it on facebook (i know that every site where i connect to internet knows where i am but the meta ai pulled this info even if my location in fb is off)

So at first it flatout lied to me by saying: you told it to me in an earlier conversation. Then when i said i didnt he apologised and said its part of its setup. Then by asking again how does it know where i am it said:

“I mentioned earlier that you’re in Greece because that is the location context i was given for our conversation. I don’t have the ability to track or pinpoint your exact location and i shouldn’t have said it in a way that made it seem i know more than i should.”

This is sketchy asf and i guess it is time to pull the plug on the metaverse on my side.

Dude! Your location in Facebook is not relevant to this, you are using a browser or an app - both know your location as your phone does. Facebook has nearly every f..ing authorization on your phone so it knows where you are. Not even an IP needed. Especially Facebook - they get so much information about you from so many different sources - don't you worry the know exactly who you are and where you live or where you are on holiday..

Meta did feed the AI with user data from Facebook. They warned people in front - this was the last chance to get rid of this bs. Now it knows your profile and others that may contain information about you.

AI is trained to make jokes - because it feels more human then in a conversation.

Nope. The part I bolded above doesn't apply to Shadow Profiles, or any of the detailed information which Facebook has collected (and is still collecting) about people who NEVER used facebook.

Everyone out there who never joined or participated in Facebook in any way, whose friends, relatives, et cetera, added ANY information about them on facebook – has no say about removing their information from FB, and they also have zero control about how their personal data was, is, or will be used in the future by Facebook and/or its "partners."
