ChatGPT went viral a few weeks ago thanks to its new 4o image generation tool, which lets anyone create AI images with simple text prompts. It can also edit pictures that users upload. The AI-generated results were impressive, which helped fuel their rapid spread. It became incredibly easy to produce images that looked almost like real photos, including deepfakes featuring celebrities. At the time, I argued that OpenAI's loose image generation safety rules were a problem, since the tool could easily be used to create misleading or harmful fakes. OpenAI wasn’t the first company to offer powerful image generation and editing tools to the public. It’s just the latest to join a growing list of AI companies rolling out similar features. Google is one of the most prominent players. Google Photos now includes AI features that let Android users change their memories in ways that can make a photo look nothing like the original shot. The Pixel 9 series also introduced high-end AI image generation capabilities. Before ChatGPT’s latest image tools went viral, Gemini added its own AI photo editing powers, including the ability to remove watermarks from real images. Now, in late April, Google is bringing new editing features to Gemini that you can try right away. Upload a picture and edit it using text prompts. It’s even easier than using Google Photos, and the results are similar — you can create completely fabricated memories to replace real ones. I’m not a big fan of these advanced AI image manipulation tools. They’re great for the companies releasing them, since they demonstrate how powerful their AI models are, but the implications are troubling. Still, if I’ve often criticized Google and others for making it too easy to “photoshop” fake images, I’ll give credit where it’s due. Google is finally starting to experiment with a small but meaningful safety feature: visible watermarks on AI-generated images created with Gemini. It’s a late move, but at least it’s something. Google mentioned the new feature in the blog post announcing Gemini’s new image editing capabilities. All AI images created with Gemini will carry invisible watermarks, but those alone aren’t enough. Most users won’t know how to detect them, or won’t care. A visible, ideally unremovable, watermark would do more to prevent misuse. Then again, a simple crop could still eliminate it, but it's a start. Google confirmed that it’s testing the idea, and that’s worth highlighting: Consistent with all AI-generated images with Gemini, images created or edited with native image generation will include the invisible SynthID digital watermark. We're also currently experimenting with adding a visible watermark on all images generated by Gemini. The new Gemini feature — editing photos with AI inside the app — is incredibly easy to use. Just upload an image and use natural language prompts to make changes. An example of images edited with the Gemini AI app. Image source: Google In Google’s example, we see a photo of a Dalmatian sitting on the grass. The second image shows the same dog, now wearing a yellow cap. In the third, the dog, its shadow, and the cap remain, but the background has been changed completely, creating a new, artificial memory. "You can change the background, replace objects, add elements, and more. For example, you can upload a personal photo and prompt Gemini to generate an image of what you'd look like with different hair colors," Google explains. All three images appear to have a watermark in the lower right corner. It’s possible the first image was generated by Gemini, and the other two were further edits based on it. Google also shared another use case for Gemini’s new editing tools: creating a “first draft of a bedtime story about dragons” with AI-generated images to go along with it. You can do almost anything with Gemini's photo editing, without needing any Photoshop skills. Just upload your image, describe the changes, and refine as needed using text prompts. Of course, that “anything” still falls within the safety limits set by Google. You’ll probably run into cases where Gemini won’t process a request or apply certain edits. Native image editing in Gemini began rolling out on Thursday. It’s available to most Google account holders worldwide, except for Workspace and Education users. Rollout will be gradual, but once it reaches your area, you’ll be able to use it via Gemini’s web interface or mobile apps.

In the context of quantum physics, the term "duality" refers to transformations that link apparently distinct physical theories, often unveiling hidden symmetries. Some recent studies have been aimed at understanding and implementing duality transformations, as this could aid the study of quantum states and symmetry-protected phenomena.

Sometimes, it’s not what you say but what you don’t say. And Michael Fishman, known for playing D.J. Conner, on Roseanne and The Conners, chose a thoughtful approach in his first public response to missing the finale of the hit spinoff. The actor, who was a part of the Conner family from his childhood, spoke on Instagram the day after the final episode aired on April 23, 2025. He didn’t stir up drama or blame anyone. Instead, he spoke with calmness and gratitude, saying people were eager to hear his reaction, but he only had “empathy and understanding.” Why Michael Fishman wasn’t in the finale             View this post on Instagram                         A post shared by Michael Fishman (@reelmfishman)   Michael Fishman returned for the first four seasons of The Conners but quietly exited in 2022, but it wasn’t his decision to leave. Despite being with the show for over thirty years, he wasn’t part of the final goodbye on screen, although the actor made it clear that there was no bad blood between him and the cast or crew. In his video, he said he wants to be “a lighthouse in the dark” and hopes to build a community where people can process change and emotions. He added that when he looks back at the show, he feels nothing but gratitude. Fishman also shared that Carsey-Werner, the company behind the show, had asked him to keep “shining a light on the series,” which he saw as an honor. He said he plans to rewatch the entire show from the beginning with fresh eyes, suggesting it’s the perfect time to reconnect. Michael Fishman/ImageCollect/Everett Collection ‘The Conners’ has finally come to an end The finale ended with a touching moment: John Goodman’s character, Dan, was left alone in the living room after saying good night to his family. Then, Goodman looked at the camera, smiled with tears in his eyes, and said, “Good night,” directly to the audience. That choice came from Goodman himself. Executive producers said it was his way of showing respect and thanks to the fans, who’ve stayed connected to the show for 37 years. The Conners/Instagram The episode also included a scene at Roseanne’s grave, honoring the late matriarch of the fictional family. Although Roseanne Barr was fired from the reboot years ago, the creators felt her character deserved a moment in the final chapter. Michael Fishman may not have been on screen this time, but his presence and legacy remain part of the Conner family story. As he put it, “I really believe that that legacy belongs to all of you in the audience.” Next up: Cindy Crawford’s Daughter Is A Modeling Powerhouse As She Stuns In New Vuori Campaign The post Michael Fishman Addresses His Absence From ‘The Conners’ Finale appeared first on DoYouRemember? - The Home of Nostalgia.
