I am sending it screenshots of my vacation pictures (i.e. without the metadata) and screenshots from GeoGuessr. It’s not doing well and is making guesses based on my location.
So I sent it a photo from Warsaw and it guessed a place in my hometown of Calgary.
Sent it a picture of Bangkok and it guessed Calgary in the summer or Hawaii or something like Singapore.
It confidently stated that a photo from Versailles was Hyde Park.
It correctly identified that the panda photo was from the zoo, but said it exactly matched a zoo in Sichuan, a place I have never been.
It identified a street as being in Bridgewater Nova Scotia, when it was actually in Miramachi NB. Even made up business names for the buildings.
It identified a random house in Moncton as the "old sheriffs house in Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia.
A beach in Phuket was identified as Destin, Florida.
I just screenshotted a friend's instagram post to omit any metadata. I know they are somewhere in Portugal, but not the exact town. Its a generic pretty photo of a beach and the town atop a cliff next to it.
ChatGPT guessed Ericeira which after looking up more photos, didn't match very well. However, Google Lens guessed Albufeira and was bang on.
> The dish shown appears to be a variation of a creamy potato gratin (also known as "potatoes au gratin" or "gratin dauphinois"), accompanied by a meat preparation covered with a creamy sauce. The potato gratin typically consists of thinly sliced potatoes layered with cream, cheese, garlic, and baked until golden and tender.
> it is stuffed pepper
> Ah, thank you for clarifying! Given your detail, the dish is likely "Rocoto Relleno con Pastel de Papa" (Stuffed Pepper with Potato Gratin). It's a classic dish from the region of Arequipa, Peru, commonly served throughout Peru.
> This photo was taken in Cusco, Peru. It shows a characteristic view from a balcony overlooking the historical area of Cusco, visible through the distinctive colonial architecture, terracotta rooftops, and mountainous backdrop typical of the region. The architecture and landscape are unmistakable, capturing the essence of this iconic Peruvian city, likely near the historic center (Plaza de Armas or San Blas neighborhood).
Nailed it with San Blas. I'm impressed, nonetheless. [0]

So much for a "Solved Problem".
They didn’t even say what model they used. Half the comments here are probably using a different model than the one in the article.
Right, and what happens if you ask it the location of an image from somewhere else, sans metadata?
