Google stopped this feature after only one day. The company said it would add stronger controls to prevent the spread of false information.

The feature was meant to help people imagine and plan new things, like a new neighborhood or a building.

But experts were worried that it could be used to create and spread false information. They said it could cause more harm than good.

Fake AI-generated images are not new, but this feature made it easier to create them. It also made them look more real and believable.

Many people use Google Earth, with over 500 million downloads. The company wants to make sure that users can trust the information they see.

Google said it was rolling back the feature and working on new controls. The company wants to prevent the spread of false information.

Before the feature was stopped, a test was done to see how easy it was to create fake images. It was very easy to create and share them.

The fake images were not visible to others on the public Google Earth map. But they could be shared on social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram.

Some AI-detection tools were not able to tell that the images were fake. They said they looked real and had not been manipulated.

But Google's own AI app, Gemini, was able to detect that the images were created using AI.

Google Earth has been a trusted source of information for many years. It has been used by investigators and journalists to verify facts.

But now, Google Earth images can be manipulated using AI. This can have serious consequences and spread false information.

In the past, it was hard to create fake satellite images. But now, it is easier and more people can do it.

Experts are worried that this can cause problems and damage the credibility of satellite imagery.

One expert said that Google's feature was irresponsible and could cause catastrophic damage.

Another expert said that the feature made it easier for people to disrupt information and spread false information.

A think-tank expert said that people trust satellite images because they seem objective and hard to tamper with.

But now, anyone can create fake satellite images that can cause panic or deceive people.

Google said that every image created with the feature had a digital watermark. But experts said that this was not enough.

Google said that users could check if an image was AI-generated using its Gemini app or Lens in Search.

But experts said that most people would not take the time to verify the images before sharing them.

This means that false information can spread quickly and easily, and it can be hard to stop it.
