Watching o3 guess a photo's location is surreal, dystopian and entertaining

The post discusses the interesting phenomenon of an AI model, referred to as o3, attempting to guess the location of a given photo. User comments reveal a mix of admiration and skepticism regarding the AI's capabilities. Some users note that clues like California poppies and coastal decorative ropes can guide guesses even for novices. Others express doubts about the AI's cheating potential, suggesting a need for better testing conditions, such as using images with stripped EXIF data to see if it can still guess accurately. The conversation touches on the efficiency of current AI technology—while it can identify locations well, there are insights that highlight its limitations, such as not having built-in querying tools for further details about images. The term 'dystopian' is challenged by some users who find the utility of the tool more utopian than alarming. The juxtaposition of AI efficiency against human skills in deciphering locations also raises points about authenticity and reliance on technology.
