Fable and Gemini Vision Models Misled by Place Names in Geo-Guessing Fail

A developer noted that a show titled 'Cupertino' used an aerial photo not actually taken in the city. Both Fable 5 and Gemini Spark models failed hard in identifying the location.

The models were misled by the word 'Cupertino' in the prompt, confidently claiming it was Main Street Cupertino. The author pointed out this is factually incorrect, as a real Cupertino aerial would prominently feature Apple buildings, Asian grocery stores, and boba shops.
