The latest viral ChatGPT trend is doing 'reverse location search' from photos | TechCrunch
Briefly

OpenAI's latest models, o3 and o4-mini, have introduced advanced image analysis capabilities, allowing users to identify locations from photos. These models can process images even with distortion, utilizing web search for enhanced accuracy. Users on social media have showcased their effectiveness in guessing cities and landmarks, often playing games like 'GeoGuessr' with the AI. Despite the fun, these advancements pose significant privacy risks, as individuals could be exposed through seemingly innocent photos uploaded online.
o3 is insane. I asked a friend of mine to give me a random photo. They gave me a random photo they took in a library. o3 knows it in 20 seconds and it's right.
There's nothing preventing a bad actor from screenshotting, say, a person's Instagram Story and using ChatGPT to try to doxx them.
