AI is getting “creepy good” at geo-guessing www.malwarebytes.com/blog/news…

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is getting very good at guessing where you are based on the smallest of clues. And that might even include audio clues, if given the right data. Our curiosity was triggered by this article in TechRadar claiming that ChatGPT o3 can geo-guess your location from almost any photo. So, we decided to do some tests and removed the metadata from a few selected photographs that I took myself and never published anywhere.

If you’re making selfies or vlogging and you don’t want to give away your location, you’ll need to be very aware of your visual and auditory surroundings. A wheelbarrow of a specific brand or the sound of a bird with a limited habitat are enough to provide hints about your location. With enough hints, AI can deduce your exact location.
