Masters is about 800-1200 ELO whereas the pros are 1900-2000ish. I'll know the country straight away on 95% of rounds but I can still have no idea where I am in Russia or Brazil sometimes if there's no info. Scripters can definitely beat me!
But I know enough to be able to determine if the chain of thought it outputs is nonsense or comparable to a good human player. I found it remarkable!
(Actually I can actually recognise some areas from soil/vegetation but I can still have rounds where the area that seems feasible seems huge to me).
And it's just fun which is the main reason for playing. I probably spend about half an hour a day playing and I don't intentionally spend time learning stuff like car meta - I try and mostly go on what places actually look like. I have learned a few things that are fairly useless but nothing that has been too arduous to learn, and e.g. when I was learning the names of provinces of different countries, I was trying to learn stuff about the province at the same time so I know something about the culture, food etc. too.
