Can AI Make Photo Edits Look Totally Real?
Ever wondered why a removed object sometimes leaves a ghostly shadow behind? Scientists have built a new test called PICABench to see how close today’s AI tools are to fixing those invisible details.
Imagine editing a photo like swapping a car for a bike – the magic should also erase the car’s reflection on the road and the tiny dust it kicked up.
That’s the kind of physical realism PICABench checks, from light tricks to tiny movements.
The researchers even taught a computer to learn these tricks from real videos, creating a huge “PICA‑100K” library of examples.
After putting popular editing apps through the test, they found most still miss the mark – shadows linger, reflections stay, and objects look out of place.
It’s a reminder that while AI can follow our instructions, making a scene feel truly natural is still a work in progress.
One day, every photo edit might be so seamless you’ll never notice the edit at all.
Stay tuned for the next leap in realistic image editing!
The future of pictures is brighter – and more believable – than ever.
