404 Media has obtained a cache of internal police emails showing at least two agencies have bought access to GeoSpy, an AI tool that analyzes architecture, soil, and other features to near instantly geolocate photos.

    Would be funny if it’s just an API call to OpenAI in the backend

        “Do you funnel all requests to the GeoGuessr dude?”

        “No.”

        “Be a lot cooler if you did.”

        He went to school in Flippin, Arkansa

        The US has some wild place names. Then they get bored and ruin it and just call it New [already famous place]

    We need to poison the well. Start uploading pics with incorrect metadata. Stonehenge is now in Alaska. Rocky desert land in Madagascar.

      I have a shortcut that strips exif data. I use it if I’m sending or posting pics.

    Quite a lot of the commercially available AIs can already do this. I uploaded a picture I took with no metadata attached to it and it was able to correctly identify the location. Reverse image search completely failed but that’s understandable since it’s my photograph.
