Google Photos Gets Conversational Editing

by

With the launch of the Pixel 10 smartphones, Google announced new AI functionality that's coming to its Google Photos app and service.

google ai photos
Users will be able to describe the edits that they want to make with text or voice in the Google ‌Photos‌ editing interface, and the changes will appear. Google says there will be no need to select tools or adjust sliders, with complex edits enabled through conversational AI.

Requests can be generic or specific, with Google suggesting the AI can understand even the most basic requests. Some of Google's examples:

  • Restore this old photo
  • Remove the cars in the background
  • Remove the reflections and fix the washed out colors
  • Make it better
  • Remove the glare, brighten the photo, and add clouds to the sky
  • Add fun items like a party hat or sunglasses
  • Change the background

The AI supports multiple requests in a single prompt, along with follow-up requests.

The new Google ‌Photos‌ functionality will be available on the Pixel 10 to start with, but it will presumably expand to other devices in the future.

Google is also adding C2PA Content Credentials to Google ‌Photos‌, which will more clearly show how an image was captured or edited. C2PA Content Credentials will roll out to Google ‌Photos‌ on Android and iOS devices over the coming weeks.

Tim Apple's rebuttal ' Now Siri can create emojis on demand. We think you're gonna love it'

In Production:

User: “Hey Siri, can you create an emoji for me?”

Siri: “Calling Emily… because you clearly said [I]‘create an emoji.’”[/I]

User: “No, I said emoji, not Emily.”

Siri: “Got it. Searching the web for [I]‘how to milk a goat.’”[/I]

User: “WHAT?! No goat, Siri, just… emoji.”

Siri: “Understood. Setting your alarm for 3:00 AM tomorrow.”

User: “Siri, please stop. Just make an emoji!”

Siri: “Here’s what I found on ‘emotional damage.’”

I think this is brilliant, especially for people who don’t want to spend half their life sliding fiddly bars around in an editing app.

Meanwhile, I can already hear Federighi and Joswiak dismissing it as “just another useless chatbot,” with Timmy nodding along from the corner.

Google’s basically lapping Apple at this point when it comes to AI. You might argue this is not privacy focussed as everything is done on the servers, but I’m ok with that as I already keeping my data up in the cloud, why not let it do the hard work as well? Its all about convenience. Convenience wins.

"Google, draw in the background a diagram of what you're really doing with these requests and my data."

Yes, this is useful. Siri isn't.

With Apple we have:

"Hey Siri, turn the volume down"

"Ok ... getting directions to downtown"
