I like doing this online quiz every once in a while (although the website has gotten much shittier over the past few decades.)
Got 123/197 today, those tiny west African countries and pacific island nations tend to get me.

You could try When Taken to really test your knowledge! Gets you thinking about more than just where the image is, but when also.

When Taken is a nice concept, but I have found a mistake once and lost a bit of trust in it. In the picture was a birth and death year of a person, but the photo was supposedly taken a few years before the person died.
Interesting, I haven’t played in while but only came across the odd national celebration, no birthdays. I’m not too surprised there may be mistakes. The computer ‘ai’ guess can be…how the hell can it figure that?!, so I assume it’s created using the same programme.
I don’t think they use a ai program for that, they probably just have a dataset with the pictures. Might even be a dataset for training ai.
The picture in question was from the AIDS Quilt when it was displayed in Washington D.C. in the 90s. So not even a very old picture
I put ai in ’ ’ as I assume it’s generated automatically somehow. AI is just a somewhat a modern/newer version of computer generated/automated in general (colloquially speaking).
The date part is probably the most tricky one to add when making these, unless it’s an accurate record, it could be an estimate anyway.
