GeoGuessr aside, I really hope that this tech will be able to help save kids someday, e.g. help with FBI's ECAP (https://www.fbi.gov/wanted/ecap).
Maybe they will one day if there's a model trained on a facial recognition database with every living person included.
That day isn't too far away. With right to privacy being slowly eroded and Palantir getting their hands deeper into US govt, I wouldn't be suprised if they already have this.
China most likely has a model trained on every citizen.
Or even host a geoguessr style competition and allow ‘steroids’ use (ChatGPT) during such runs.
Isn’t that all the more reason to call out our high hopes?
From the guidelines:

> Don't be curmudgeonly. Thoughtful criticism is fine, but please don't be rigidly or generically negative.
I don't think anybody is suggesting this. But if the models can gleam information/insights that humans can't, that's still valuable, even if it's wrong some percentage of the time.
It is, and will continue to be, a hard problem.
