Geoguessr pro zi8gzag tried out one of the AIs in a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQKoDSoxRAY It was indeed extremely impressive and for sure would have annihilated me, but I believe it would have no chance to beat zi8gzag or any other top player. But give it a year or two and I'm sure it will crush any human player. Geoguessr is, afaict, primarily about rote memorization of various features (such as types of electricity poles, road signage, foilage, etc.) which AIs excel at.

Looks like that video uses Gemini 2.0 (probably Flash) in streaming mode (via AI studio) from a few months ago. Gemini 2.5 might do better, but in my explorations so far o3 is hugely more capable than even Gemini 2.5 right now.
