The Pixel 9 series launched last August came with impressive Gemini AI features, including image generation abilities that were too good, opening the door to abuse. It was troubling to see Google need about two months to start fixing the Pixel Studio and Reimagine issues.
Those fixes, labeling Gemini-made images as images created with AI, should have been in place from the start, but they're still not enough to prevent abuse.
Fast-forward to mid-March and Google has given Gemini a big upgrade, making it more personal and improving Deep Research. Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking Experimental was the model Google highlighted in its announcement, the reasoning AI that makes those research reports better and helps with Gemini personalization.
It turns out that Gemini 2.0 Flash is also very good at creating and editing images. Too good. When I say that, I mean it can be abused with ease.
Specifically, Gemini 2.0 Flash users found they could remove watermarks from images on the web with incredible ease. This essentially allows any user to steal copyright-protected imagery from the web. It's a lawsuit waiting to happen.
