And yet many will continue to confidently declare that this is nothing more than fancy autocomplete stochastic parrots.

I will.

I am willing to bet that most of this geolocation success is based on overfitting for Google streetview peculiarities.

I.e., feed it images from a military drone and success rate will plummet.

You're anthropomorphizing a likelihood maximization calculator.

And no, human brains are not likelihood maximization calculators.

This overconfidence without making one attempt kills me. Gemini 2.5 pro is free, try it! I gave it 2 pictures I took on a film camera. I then screenshotted the pictures (to remove exif, even though there isn't any). It nailed them.

You lost your bet, now change your mind
