Ooh, this is great. I love GeoGuessr and have pointed several people to it. I have thought that a trained AI could do better than me on average. I've been posting my runs publicly to Strava for years. I recently started living in a small town and decided to stop posting my location, and using an open source tool called RunnerUp to track my runs. I have still been posting running photos that don't reveal my location. I know someday people will be able to figure out my location despite avoiding taking pictures with signs and stuff. If anyone wants to try to figure out one of my recent locations, my instagram link is in my bio.

It's wild how we're anonymous on the internet, right up until we're not! I was watching an auction on bringatrailer.com (an auto auction website where people sell cars and discuss them in a comments section) the other day. One commenter realized he could distantly see his house in a stranger's auction photos! The person posting the photos probably never considered that the photo location would be precisely identifiable (and for this purpose, probably didn't care). But if you get enough eyes on something, someone is going to recognize it.
