You can't hide from ChatGPT – new viral AI challenge can geo-locate you from almost any photo – we tried it and it's wild and worrisome. (www.techradar.com)

ChatGPT can receive the users general location. Its like a tool, the model needs to ask to receive it.

It's still quite impressive since it narrowed it down to my county using the trees and general geographical feel (there was a small mountain chain in the background), but it's clear when it actually receives the location information in the last reasoning step.
