I partnered with @geoffreyfowler.bsky.social to test a bunch of AI editing tools, and something very interesting happened.

We asked Gemini to generate a professional photo of an actor crying at the Oscars. It did — including a fake copyright notice from a real AP photographer.

Google said it was “refining” its safeguards. The AP didn’t answer questions about whether Gemini had rights to train on its photos.
