So when people say "Where are you from?" Do they mean where were you born? Where you spent the most of your life? Where you're currently living? It makes no sense.
I'm from a lot of different places.

I think it depends on the context the question is asked in. If you meet someone at the grocery store you can probably assume they're from the same place as you, so the question would mean "where were you born/where did you grow up". On the other hand, over the internet, where you generally have no idea where a person is located, it probably means "where do you live right now".
