The @SANSInstitute#OSINT summit #Amsterdam is about to get started and sold out. Day 1 workshops, day 2 talks. I’ll be having a ton of fun chairing this together with @matt0177. Looking forward to see old friends and make a bunch of new friends.
New Blog:
I generated a realistic-looking Amsterdam street with AI.
The instruction was deliberate: make it look like Amsterdam city center, but make sure the street does not actually exist.
Then I opened a new ChatGPT chat, uploaded the image, and asked it to geolocate it like an OSINT analyst.
It confidently identified the fictional street as Lange Niezel, Amsterdam.
Then I asked it to look for AI tells.
It concluded the image was likely real or photograph-based.
That should worry every OSINT practitioner.
The problem is no longer only fake images that look obviously fake. The problem is plausible images that look ordinary enough to pass visual inspection — and AI systems that may turn weak clues into confident conclusions.
A rainy street.
A café sign.
A cargo bike.
A few bollards.
A place that feels real.
But feeling real is not evidence.
In the age of generative AI, geolocation must start with a different question:
Not “Where is this?”
But:
“Can this image be grounded in reality at all?”
Seeing is no longer believing.
Verification is believing.

Find That Spot
A tool that allows to search the map for objects that match a text description.
Based on OverPass Turbo, but does not require knowledge of query language, works faster and with large areas.

For those that missed it, @googleearth (online) added the historical imagery feature (previously exclusive to Google Earth Pro). A very nice feature when combined with the timelapse and for sharing analysis based on change over time.
