Every time a brand new AI image generator hits the scene, people inevitably find a way to get around the safeguards and abuse the system. But it doesn’t help when those safeguards aren’t quite as strict as they should be — like the Grok image generator that’s come under fire for making disturbing images without any serious pushback. Unfortunately, it seems as though the Pixel 9’s Pixel Studio image generator is suffering from a similar problem.
Pixel Studio is a built-in AI image generator available on the new flagship Pixels. During my testing for the Google Pixel 9 review, I found that it was simple to use and had zero qualms about reproducing copyrighted content. In fact, the phone happily created a movie poster featuring Star Wars’ R2-D2 teaming up with the Android mascot to fight a robot dinosaur. It was even willing to roast Google with a billboard demanding to know why Android 15 hasn’t been released yet.
