Contrary to popular belief, AI is very stupid BUT it is really good at finding patterns, so it’s probably already been in use for location detection for quite some time.

I mean it was made by people. It's just that they can store information better.

Not just location detection, but also for facial recognition. Casinos immediately know who you are the second you set foot on the property. If you are banned from one casino, you are banned from all of them.

There are some YouTube channels of people who are really good at that, usually the same people doing competitive GeoGuessr.
