How good are LLMs at geoguessing?

Pretty good. I played a bit with gpt-4 a year or so ago by feeding it random screenshots from Google street view. It will pick up a lot of subtle hints from what otherwise looks like generic streets. I imagine more recent models might be better at this now.

Pretty good. I test it every now and then from random photos. Sometimes spot on, sometimes gets very close, unless it's really ambiguous.

Basically all up to the training data, as things often are.

  • I wonder if that might be another reason to just completely disable this feature and not make it a permission: otherwise people could use it to build trainingsets for geoguesser models.

    • People already uploaded tons of images and data while playing Pokemon GO. Probably model is already has been built and being tested right now

  • You still need some smarts, since the picture you just took won't be in the training data.
