He mentions this in the same paragraph:

> If you’re still suspicious, try stripping EXIF by taking a screenshot and run an experiment yourself—I’ve tried this and it still works the same way.

Why didn't he do that then for this post?

  • Even better, edit it and place a false location.

    • This is a good test - the salient point is that it is fine if the LLM is confused, or even gets it wrong! But what I suspect would happen is that it would confabulate details which aren't in the photo to justify the incorrect EXIF answer. This is not fine.

  • Because I'd already determined it wasn't using EXIF in prior experiments and didn't bother with the one that I wrote up.

    I added two examples at the end just now where I stripped EXIF via screenshotting first.
