I had a similar experience, I tried with some photos from various European cities and while it pretty much always got the city correct it was hilariously confidently incorrect in the exact location within the city. They were plausible but nowhere near the level of accuracy the article describes. All the images had distinctly recognizable landmarks which a resident of said city would know and which also have images available online given one knows the name of the landmark so I'm not particularly impressed.
In fact some of the answers were completely geographically impossible where it said "The image is taken from location X showing location Y" when it's not possible to see location Y if one is standing at location X. Like saying "The photo is taken in Central Park looking north showing the Statue of Liberty".
