Google has become the latest of the big three tech giants to announce its own AI-powered photo editing tools.
Samsung and Apple have done it before, so release your Image Playground tool. Google has added Reimagine to the Pixel 9. The Verge, however, was horrified by its capabilities.
Over the course of a week, journalists added photos of accident scenes, smoking bombs in cafes, bedsheets, supposed covers for bloody bodies, and more. It’s sad that such things can be created using a built-in feature, not through non-specialized software. Such content should be detected and blocked in advance, but this is not happening.
Here’s what they managed to do:
Google spokesman Alex Moriconi commented on the situation:
We design our generative AI tools with user intent in mind, but we have clear terms and conditions of use that define what content is acceptable and what is not.
However, The Verge’s example showed that these restrictions can easily be circumvented with creative queries.
The authors recommend that you be wary of any photos that may appear on the Internet after the release of this feature. They should be verified for authenticity. [The Verge]
