Bengaluru Techie Asks For White Background Photo, Gemini AI Crafts Viral Meme Edit, Google Reacts

A Bengaluru techie's request to edit a photo has gone viral after Google Gemini AI gave a surprisingly literal result that left internet users laughing. What was meant to be a simple background change turned into a comical image that quickly caught people's attention online.

Bengaluru techie Aditya Dubey asked Google Gemini to whiten the background of the photograph. But instead of cropping the photo, the AI simply cropped it so that only his head appeared on a white background, with the rest of his body missing.

AI shared before-and-after photos on X, showing his original passport-style photo on the left and the unique edit created by Gemini on the right. He explained that the AI created a completely white machine, but cropped out everything else, leaving only his head floating in the middle.
