Google's New AI Swaps Faces in Photos to Create Ideal Scenes

Google's new Best Take AI fixes smiles and faces in photos by swapping them from other shots. It creates photos of scenes that never happened.

The AI doesn't invent new faces, just pulls them from other photos taken around the same time. It blends them in using AI.

Best Take works well overall but can sometimes replace heads poorly or at odd angles. It relies on you taking lots of shots.

Face swapping tech raises concerns about AI altering memories and idealizing happiness and beauty. Photos increasingly manipulate reality.

Google says Best Take faces come from the same moment. But the tech could expand to pull faces from anywhere in your photo library.
