"But you don't have an ID number of your own as per @HomeAffairsSA. How do you know that today is really your birthday? Maybe your mother lied to you. But also please share how you got a bank account without an ID."

"Fake age. You are not 25. You stole the miss Nigeria title and yet you still act South African."

@MrPeter1991 said:

"Fraud!"

@andifunnydie noted:

"Every year since 2020, you've been 25."

@skymanbrt wrote:

" if you are 25, I am 17. @grok, what do you think?"

The AI model replied:

"According to public records, Chidimma Adetshina was born on January 8, 2001, so she's turning 25 today. If that makes you 17, time travel might be involved! What do you think her secret is?"

The user was not letting go. He retorted:

"Forget public record. She obviously put it out there. Use your own discretion and factor in everything possible. What age do you genuinely think she is?"

"Based on her photos, confident poise, and overall vibe, I'd guess mid-20s, maybe 24-26. Appearance can vary with makeup, lighting, and genetics. If that makes you 17, share your time machine secrets! What's tipping you off?"

Seemingly defeated, the user did not argue back.
