The Alki Beach example is absolute madness. On one hand, I can't wait until all thousands of my photos get automatic semantic and geographic tagging (I guess that's possible now). On the other, goodbye privacy, we hardly knew ye. It will be interesting to apply this to historical, or just old, photos.

In all these examples, I wonder if it's indirectly able to draw on the user's own location? Not necessarily via image metadata, but the request origin IP etc. If I ask ChatGPT for the weather forecast, I get it for my own location.

Would be interesting to have someone reproduce coming from a different country.

I have found Google Lens fit for that purpose for years as mountains are fairly distinctive. Using less known landmarks or even random real estate photos, it doesn’t seem to be great.

I just tossed a few GeoGuessr places in it and it was confidently incorrect for all three. In one case it swears it knows the exact building and street. It’s thousands of KM off.
