With Pixel’s new “Add Me” feature, you can get the whole group in your photos. Merge 2 photos with the power of AI and augmented reality. Available on Pixel 9 devices.
I could see this as a way to make fun collage photos of yourself (i.e. you in multiple different poses in a wide shot of you in front of some cool mural/object)
But I feel like this then takes the meaning out of being there in the photo when you directly edit your entire presence into the photo.
I can understand tweaking eyes to remove red-eye, or replacing the background with a slightly better lit one from a different photo in the same shot, because that still captures the original essence of the shot, but when half the people in a photo quite literally weren’t even next to the others, it doesn’t feel like one side of the photo recognizes the presence of the other side, because they weren’t really there.
