Completely wrong on the political side (maybe because I'm not US-based), but otherwise not bad at all:

- astonishing geoguessing

- very good inference of some characters traits

- and finally quite good ad targeting

EDIT: I tried with a few photos (different people in various settings) and each time I got this: "racial bias towards immigrants" - which was always very false. Intriguing.

EDIT2: different photos of the same person (me) in different settings gives many totally opposed characteristics. Very unreliable, but I guess with several photos (a lifetime's photos in the case of Google) it's another story.

It's possible the image you uploaded contains geographic coordinates.

EDIT: this is exactly what happened with my image upload, for example

I thought about that but no, they were resized pictures completely lacking EXIF tags.

Cropping doesn't necessarily remove exif. It doesn't even always remove the original pixels (simply setting cropTop and cropLeft and similar fields).

My mind was blown when I saw rainbolt uncrop a picture.

Anyways as mentioned elsewhere: when I tried it the vision api was overloaded but I still received the location data. And it was from a picture taken inside my car (no landmarks or horizons visible).

I haven't tried this particular tool, but SOTA models are really good at geoguessing photos that legitimately don't have EXIF.

I've tried with personal photos and was able to get very accurate guesses just with flora and architecture in the background of a photo.

For me the geoguessing was completely wrong. It said the photo is from Belgium, but it’s not even close. (The photo does show a big chunk of nature.)
