Reception

gollark: I am in 3 servers doing this. It is literally the funniest possible joke.
gollark: The obvious choice was counties or something, for which there was a convenient list on Wikipedia, which did *not* work at all.
gollark: That would require actual work to determine what "regions" are likely to have been mentioned lots in the training data.
gollark: Probably cities with distinct architecture and buildings work better.
gollark: I briefly tried a CLIP geolocation thing but couldn't actually get it to work. I think random English countryside is just really undifferentiated.
