Why is it dystopian? It's a nice utility. The tool is just intelligence. Intelligence itself is not dystopian or utopian. It's what you use it for that makes it so.
Those who say it is "utopian" are also okay with: "If you've got nothing to hide, you've got nothing to fear". It is dystopian.
If you don't want to post a photo, then don't post a photo.
This tool just makes it easier for weirdos to achieve their goals at stalking women and kids. Crazy that this is even allowed. Who the hell needs to know the precise location of a picture, besides law enforcement? A rough location is most of the time sufficient. Like a region, a state, or a landscape (e.g., when you see the Bing background pictures, it's nice to see where they were taken). This tool will give a boost…
I just tossed a group photo w/ some cherry blossom in the background, and GPT immediately answered it's taken in Japan. Yes, I'm very very very scared. /s
I’m sure there are areas where the location guessing can be scary accurate, like the article managed to guess the exact town as its backup guess. But seeing the chain of thought, I’m confident there are many areas that it will be far less precise. Show it a picture of a trailer park somewhere in Kansas (exclude any signs with the trailer park name and location) and I’ll bet the model only manages to guess the state c…
you never know.. LLM could go full sherlock holmes. Based on the type of grass and the direction of the wind. The type of wood work used. There could be millions of factors that it could factor in and then guess it to a t.
There was a scene in High Potential (murder-of-the-week sleuth savant show) where a crime was solved by (in part) the direction the wind was blowing in a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1ZOzck4bBI

I agree with you. The opposite opinion sounds psychotic and paranoid to me.
I added a section just now with something I had missed: o3 DOES have a loose model of your location fed into it, which I believe is intended to support the new search feature (so it can run local searches). The thinking summary it showed me did not reference that information, but it's still very possible that it used that in its deliberations. I ran two extra example queries for photographs I've taken thousands of mi…
From the addition: > (EXIF stripped via screenshotting) Just a note, it is not necessary to "screenshot" to remove EXIF data. There are numerous tools that allow editing/removal of EXIF data (e.g., exiv2: https://exiv2.org/ , exiftool: https://exiftool.org/ , or even jpegtran with the "-copy none" option https://linux.die.net/man/1/jpegtran ). Using a screenshot to strip EXIF produces a reduced quality image (scaled…

This is pure luddism. A human could have done the exact same thing. I’ll also point out that in this case the most confident guess was 200 miles off and the second correct guess was only down to the city level. Not remotely what anyone would consider precise.
If you feed it a photo with a clear landmark it will get the location exactly right.
If you feed it a photo that's a close up of a brick wall it won't have a chance.
What's interesting is how well it can do on this range of tasks. If you don't think that's at least interesting I'm not sure what I can do for you.

A photo of people with cherry blossoms could be in many places, but if the majority of the people in the photo happen to be Japanese (and I'm curious how good LLMs are at determining the ethnicity of people now, and also curious if they would try to guess this if asked), it might guess Japan even if the cherry blossoms were in, say, Vancouver.
