Google Gemini knows your location

I was chatting with Gemini 2.0, not logged in. Was looking for a company name. While brainstorming, it suggested one of the names is especially good because it also connects well to the town I live in. When I asked how it knew, it lied, told me I told it. When pressed further, thanked and attempted to change subject. omg

    I find it fairly aggressive about using location. I asked it a few questions about pineapples and it made a point of noting that they do not grow where I live.
