- OpenAI's new AI models, o3 and o4-mini, can analyze images to deduce locations.
- Users are leveraging o3's image-reasoning and web search capabilities to play 'GeoGuessr'-style location guessing games.
- The models can identify cities, landmarks, restaurants, and bars from subtle visual clues without relying on EXIF data.
- This raises privacy concerns, as bad actors could use the tool to doxx individuals from social media photos.
- Testing showed o3 sometimes outperforms GPT-4o in location guessing but can also be inaccurate or get stuck in loops.
- OpenAI has not addressed potential safeguards against reverse location lookups in its safety report for the new models.
