- Google is working on a new Remix feature for Google Photos that would use generative AI to transform photos.
- The tool would allow users to apply creative art styles, like anime and claymation, to backed-up photos.
- Users will also be able to save and even regenerate photos. Policy guardrails also appear to be in place to prevent misuse.
ChatGPT’s improved native image generation sparked a viral trend, with users rushing to transform their images into Studio Ghibli-style art. But that’s not all that the AI could do, as you could feed it prompts for different design languages, like my colleague Matt who asked ChatGPT to turn him into a Muppet. You could do these prompts with most AI assistants, including Gemini, but there’s room to incorporate this feature into photo management apps. Google could be taking the idea to Google Photos and running with it, building a feature that could let users remix their images into several preset art styles.
