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

Funnier if it just funneled all requests to the GeoGuessr dude.

Not too far off of how a lot of AIs function, unfortunately

“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.
