Rainbolt also uses these tricks wherever possible. Eg pro geoguesser players know how high the camera angle is on street view in each country, and which countries the edge of the Google car is visible on shot.

Definitely, that’s worth mentioning and I was arguably wrong to say most or all humans couldn’t do it. Many of the things the AI did really are things humans do. I think what I meant to say is that the depth and breadth in which the AI can do it is superhuman. Like, tiny bits of dust on the lens a person couldn’t really see become clearly and reliably identifiable features of locales. We can use aspect, seams, and other more obvious features of camera images in specific areas, but the AI can go quite a lot further using minute and sometimes almost imperceptible details.
