The big idea
Phone cameras and photo apps now use AI to do tricks that used to need a pro. Removing things, adding things, changing your face — all AI.
Some examples
- Magic eraser: removes someone or something from a photo and fills in the background.
- Sky replacement: swaps a cloudy sky for a sunny one.
- Aging filter: shows what you might look like in 50 years.
- Cartoon filter: turns your photo into a drawing.
Try it!
With a grown-up, try a photo editing AI feature. Then look at the original and the edited version side by side. Talk about what changed and how it makes you feel.
