Enjoyed this post from Malwarebytes about how AI is getting creepy good at guessing the geo-location of photos/videos by analyzing the tiniest of clues.

When analyzing videos with audio, e.g., apparently just having a few birds chirping in the background can be enough to make a strong guess about where the video was recorded.

I wonder if it's using bird dialects.

I don't like that LLMs are being used to geo-guess. Very unsurprising, in hindsight.

However, I love that Cockney pigeons are theoretically a thing. "Are you using that chewing gum and puke, guvnah?"
