New AI Tools: “Video Generative ML” and “Speak-to-Tweak” for Pixel 10
But is AI photo trickery going too far? The Pixel 9 may only be a few months old, but that’s enough time for excitement to start building about the Google Pixel 10 and even the Pixel 11. New leaks suggest major upgrades to Google’s AI-powered photo and video features for the upcoming devices. According to Android Authority, who claim to have seen reliable documents leaked from Google’s gChips division—the team behind chipsets like the Tensor G4 in the Pixel 9—there are hints of what the Pixel 10’s Tensor G5 might offer. While some details are still unclear, two of the most anticipated features are “Video Generative ML”—an AI-powered video editing tool that would simplify edits in the Photos app—and a “Speak-to-Tweak” tool, which could allow users to adjust photos simply by describing changes.
Pixel 11’s Camera Advancements: 100x Zoom and Ultra Low Light Video
But those aren’t the only potential updates. A “Sketch-to-Image” function may work similarly to a feature in Samsung’s Galaxy AI, letting users draw an addition to a photo that AI transforms into a realistic-looking element. Lastly, a “Magic Mirror” tool could be a selfie-enhancing feature similar to social media filters, though exact details are still unknown. 100x zoom coming to the Pixel 11? The leaked documents also tease upgrades for the Pixel 11’s camera via its G6 chip. One standout is a machine learning-based 100x zoom for photos and videos, along with “Ultra Low Light video” processing on-device, eliminating reliance on cloud processing like an earlier version of this feature. As with all leaks—especially for a phone almost two years from launch—these should be taken with caution. Even if these leaks represent Google’s current plans for the Pixel 10 and 11, ongoing development may mean that some features could change or even be removed before launch.
Authenticity in Photography: Are AI Tools Pushing Limits Too Far?
These potential updates add to ongoing concerns that smartphone photos are becoming less authentic. Tools like “Speak-to-Tweak” and “Sketch-to-Image,” which add or modify elements in photos and videos, may feel like artificial enhancements to some users. Even the machine learning-based 100x zoom could be divisive among purists if it depends heavily on AI without significant hardware upgrades. Although the high-zoom image would be of a real scene, AI would need to fill in missing details, which could make the final image feel almost as artificial as other AI creations. At the same time, it captures the essence of reality, which may be enough for many users. Only time will tell how consumers react if and when these features are officially released.
