Google is now putting AI in the sky, and everyone is terrified

Google is updating its satellite view with AI that fills in missing details. The tech giant claims it makes maps look crisper, but privacy hawks and open-source analysts are staring at the ceiling in pure panic.

The problem is that the AI isn't just enhancing pixels; it is guessing what should be there. When a machine starts hallucinating reality, it creates a golden playground for bad actors to cook up deepfakes of geography. You might think you are looking at a real-time snapshot, but you could actually be staring at a digital fever dream created by an algorithm.

Expect to spend the next few years arguing with people who think they saw a secret base that only exists in a developer's training data.
