I guess the idea is cool, but this is more like "try and guess which prompt generated this slop".

The thing that makes Geoguessr cool is that it drops you into a real place.

This is like if Geoguessr showed you the output from "Midjourney, show me China".

I guess you could see it that way. The is no footage from most of history, so AI gives us a new way to interact with those events in the past. But it will never be perfect, because we'll never have the ground truth to compare it to.
