I gave o4-mini-high a cropped version of a photo I found on Facebook[0][1], and it quickly determined that this was in the UK from the road markings. It also decided that it was from a coastal city because it could see water on the horizon, which is the correct conclusion from incorrect data. There is no water, I think that's trees on a hill. It focused heavily on the spherical structure, which makes sense because it's distinctive, though it had a hard time placing it. It also decided that the building on the left was probably a shopping centre.

It eventually decided that the photo was taken outside the Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre in Glasgow. It actually generally considered Scottish locations more than others.

The picture was actually taken in Plymouth (so pretty much as far from Scotland as you can get in Britain), on Charles Street looking south-east[2]. The building on the right is Drake Circus, and the one on the left is the Arts University. It actually did consider Plymouth, but decided it didn't match.
