It can do wonders for OSINT and disproving propaganda (for what's that worth).

Feels like there could be anti fake news applications. It's pretty common for photos to be recycled and purported to be of current events, when what they actually show is far away both in distance and time

Imagine: you’re abducted, but manage to sneak a photo and upload it somewhere completely random with a message for help. You don’t even know where you are.

Praise the lord, now I can leave my house without fear of being abducted.

Interpol, Europol, FBI etc. find abused children by geolocating images. This could be very useful for that.

Just hire people from the geoguessr leaderboards, they are much better than this AI model. And every country employing like one or two such people and making them available to their police agencies is probably more than they could ever need.

You might think making an AI model will be cheaper, but if you commoditize it like this the additional police work from stalkers will outweigh any savings by multiple orders of magnitude
