Flashy Google unveiled four new Pixel smartphones at a media event held at its headquarters in Mountain View, Calif. this week, but the most important announcement at the “Made By Google” event wasn’t the hardware itself, but all of the generative AI tools packed into the devices.
Most notable is the AI-powered camera feature, which allows Pixel users to easily add their own image to a group shot after taking the photo, or completely alter a photo by turning night into day or adding objects that weren’t actually there. It’s an exploration of the human limits of how convincingly technology can deliver alternate realities, and how much we can tolerate computer-generated landscapes.
This week on Gadget Lab, WIRED Senior Reviews Editor Julian Chokkattu joins the show to talk about Google’s awesome new photography tricks. He also talks about Gemini Live, the latest version of the company’s AI-powered voice chatbot. Finally, we ask the question we can’t ask: Is Google Assistant finally dead, or has it just been relegated to Google’s attic?
