Except of course most of the view out of the window apart from the three circled buildings does not match up at all.

The three circled buildings are the furthest thing you can see out of that window, and in the pic in general, and the thing about far away big things is, you can move around a lot before their visual appearance will start to change noticably.

The story of how that background was created has been stated by the artist himself: he was studying in the quartier de la croix-rousse in Lyon, and incorporated it in the drawing using multiple reference pictures.

So while the neighborhood is recognizable, it is not a perfect match from any POV.

I see more. The girl's perspective is further to the left.

Also, relative positions of circled buildings seems off, so I would say that this address is off by some distance making it another address

If the drawing is an accurate copy of an original photo, then that original photo was probably taken from the left of this new photo. Not a few meters to the left, but dozens. (I'm ball parking it from my phone screen)

With 3 landmark recognition points, you have enough info to properly "triangulate" a 4th position, but that wasn't done here, the angles are wrong.

  • The relative distance between the buildings matter, you have to know which is further away. If I'm wrong about which buildings are closer/further, then it could actually be to the right. A phone is probably not the best device for doing this kind of guesstimation.

The drawing is based on an actual place in Lyon, where the artist Juan Pablo Machado was living at the time.

So why are you spreading her address instead of redacting the info

[-] Franzia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 31 points 7 months ago

What she still studying for tho 💀

Wait, can artificial intelligence actually do this now?

[-] nightwatch_admin@feddit.nl 58 points 7 months ago

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.

Wait, that sounds just like people

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

[-] NoIWontPickaName@kbin.social 3 points 7 months ago

Beat me to it

[-] morrowind@lemmy.ml 1 points 7 months ago

Yeah neural networks are based on human brains

[-] AutistoMephisto@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

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.

[-] Deceptichum@kbin.social 24 points 7 months ago

Maybe.

But I’m pretty sure this was noticed the old fashioned way, with our own eyes.

[-] SomeoneSomewhere@lemmy.nz 21 points 7 months ago

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

But yeah, skylines are really distinctive.

“24/7 lofi beats to study to” needs quotes or something, took me too long to understand that sentence

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 2 points 7 months ago

I'm confused is this a real person with like a cartoon avatar? I've literally no idea what's going on here.

[-] money_loo@lemmy.world 9 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Edit: also why is everyone sharing it!!! lol that dude should have blacked it out before reposting, and OP here should have blacked it out if it wasn’t!
