      I get it’s part of the joke, but just so people are aware (since this seems to be lost on a lot of people): there is no process, because it’s not actually thinking. It’s merely generating text that resembles natural language, with no semantic understanding. It doesn’t know what a location is, nor how to figure out where the closest McDonalds is.

      No one mentioned, say, GPS or a similar technology. Therefore, if you can narrow down someone’s location in any way, you have location information.

      Not with the public IP, this point to the used ISP server, which can be between 50-350 km away. The user IP normally isn’t visible by third party. In mobile they can localize you iv you have activated the GPS or localisation in the settings, than they can use the GPS data or the nearby transponder location (200-300 m). If it is an AI from Google, MS or Apple, they already know your direction, eg. using their maps, or by logging you.

      Simply DON’T use AI from big US corporations.
