If the person is already a stalker you'd think they'd already know this, no? There's that anecdotal stuff in japan where a vlogger was located by her "fans" from a reflexion of their home bus station or something. The weird people will do weird stuff regardless of technology, IMO.
And the governments are already doing this for decades at least, so ... I think the tech could be a net benefit, as with many other technologies that have matured.
> weird people will do weird stuff regardless of technology
If I were someone's only stalker, I'd be absolutely hopeless at finding their location from images. I'm really bad at it if I don't know the location first hand
But now, suddenly with AI I'm close to an expert. The accessibility of just uploading an image to ChatGPT means everyone has an easy way of abusing it, not just a small percentage of the population
So I guess the evil we're worried about is stalkers who are bad at guessing locations, bad enough with tech that they don't know about geoguessr websites and subreddits, but good enough with tech to use LLMs?
