With the next generation of AI photo editing tools built into the Google’s flagship Pixel 9 family, our basic assumptions about photographs capturing a reality we can believe in are about to be seriously tested — and @theverge shows us why.

“An explosion from the side of an old brick building. A crashed bicycle in a city intersection. A cockroach in a box of takeout. It took less than 10 seconds to create each of these images with the Reimagine tool in the Pixel 9’s Magic Editor. They are crisp. They are in full color. They are high-fidelity. There is no suspicious background blur, no tell-tale sixth finger. These photographs are extraordinarily convincing, and they are all extremely f---ing fake.” Take a look at the pictures for yourself as The Verge ponders the implications of these new capabilities.
