I think the real discussion here should be an analysis of his methods of using the various online tools... his toolchain, essentially, and how we're rapidly accelerating processes like these compared to even just 10 years ago.

Openstreetmap data is used in Overpass Turbo -> ask ChatGPT NLP into Overpass Turbo scripted API -> copy paste script into Overpass Turbo -> select Location data from query -> copy/paste coords into Google Street View images -> Matching the original image by eye.

This part of the his search could be collapsed into a single tool. Or, if that is maybe too much of a specific use case, imagine moreso a 'workbench' tool that would put all this in a single place. Every time he switches chrome tabs, or copy/pastes... that could be taking place in a single environment, like a GPT4-plugin for example.




This seems to cover some of that workflow
