Google’s latest smartphones, the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro, are using artificial intelligence (AI) to alter people’s expressions in photographs, raising questions about the authenticity of images. The “Best Take” feature allows users to mix and match expressions from previous photos to create the desired effect. The devices also offer a “Magic Editor” feature which can erase, move, and resize elements in a photo and use deep learning to fill in the space with appropriate textures. Critics argue that this level of AI manipulation blurs the line between reality and a fabricated world. However, Google defends its technology, stating that users want to capture beautiful images rather than reality.
