I’m sure there are areas where the location guessing can be scary accurate, like the article managed to guess the exact town as its backup guess.

But seeing the chain of thought, I’m confident there are many areas that it will be far less precise. Show it a picture of a trailer park somewhere in Kansas (exclude any signs with the trailer park name and location) and I’ll bet the model only manages to guess the state correctly.

Before even running this experiment, here’s your lesson learned: when the robot apocalypse happens, California is the first to be doomed. That’s the place the AI is most familiar with. Run any location experiments outside of California if you want to get an idea of how good your software performs outside of the tech bubble.
