When introducing a clause or idea, for instance with lo que, do you always use lo, or does it match the gender and number?

For example, if the Duo sentence in the 3rd screen shot were to be changed to talk about something with a femenino, plural adjective, would you stick with lo, or would you change the clause to be singular to show it is a general statement, or would you match gender and number?

For example: Ibas a lo/la dirección contraria de lo que dices.

Or

Ibas a las direcciones contrarias de lo que dices.

And just to be contrario myself, what’s with AI saying that “haces” is not regular for an -ar verb. Well…hacer is an -er verb. Also, in the simple present, only the yo version, hago, is irregular. I guess the AI error served a purpose by having me double-check myself with a dictionary to be sure. Maybe that’s a reasonable review.

I wonder how Duo could stop it’s AI from making up stuff like this, i.e. hallucinating.
