Now, everyone in the unflattering group photo \u2014 regardless of how enthused they were about being having their picture taken at the time \u2014 can\u00a0be made to beam with an algorithm&#8217;s idea of a human smile. Called &#8220;Best Take,&#8221; the feature comes equipped in Google&#8217;s new Pixel 8 Smartphone, which was released this week and retails for $699. It has one notable caveat, or perhaps saving grace: Best Take only uses faces grabbed from other similar photos taken in quick succession. So it can&#8217;t, Google claims, just swap and generate any face from any point in time, nor can it generate them from scratch. For example, if in one take you caught your friend blinking, but in another their eyes are open, Google&#8217;s tool can swap their faces into the best take \u2014 or at least the one you look the best in. Take it a few steps further and voil\u00e0: you can have everyone&#8217;s eyes wide open, smiles corrected, and tongues prudently withdrawn.

Yeah, if you can stomach it. It&#8217;s basically what people have been doing with Photoshop for years, except automated. Parents will probably love it.
