How to Use Google’s New ‘About This Image’ Feature

Have you ever come across an image online that looked too good to be true? 

Or maybe you saw a photo that was used in a misleading or false context? 

How can you tell if an image is reliable or not?

Here's a Cool Tip.  Use Google's New About This Image feature.

Google  recently launched a new feature called About This Image that can help you find more information about the images you see on the web. 

This feature can help you check the credibility, context, and origin of an image, as well as whether it was generated or manipulated by artificial intelligence.

Here's how to do it.

From the three-dot menu in Google Search: 

When you come across an image on Google Images or Google Search page, tap the three-dot menu on the top right corner and select About This Image. 

Google will then tell you the background of the image so that you can check its credibility and context1.

fig. 1 - Google About This Image

The About This Image feature provides you with four types of information about an image:

1. When did Google first index the image and similar ones: This can help you determine how old the image is and whether it was published before or after a certain event.
2. Where it may have first appeared: This can help you find the original source of the image and whether it is credible or not.
3. Where else it’s been seen online: This can help you see how the image has been used on other websites, such as news, social media, and fact-checking sites. You can also compare how different sources present the same image and whether they are consistent or contradictory.
4. Image metadata: This is information that image creators and publishers have added to an image, such as the title, description, author, date, location, etc. It also includes fields that may indicate whether AI has generated or enhanced the image. All Google AI-generated images have this markup in the original file.

fig. 2 - Google About This Image Results

The ‘About This Image’ feature has several benefits for users:

• It can help you spot fake images and misinformation by providing you with more context and sources about an image.
• It can help you verify the authenticity and accuracy of an image by showing you when and where it was first published and how it has been used online.
• It can help you find more information and related content about an image by showing you other websites that have displayed it.
• It can help you give credit to the original creator or publisher of an image by showing you their name and website.

About This Image can help you find more information about the images you see on the web.

Be sure to check it out.

How to Use Apple's New Adaptive Audio and Conversation Awareness for AirPods Pro

Are you tired of having to adjust your AirPods' noise cancellation settings every time you want to talk to someone? 

Or maybe you're worried about missing important announcements because your AirPods are blocking out the world around you?

Here's a Cool Tip.  AirPod Adaptive Audio.

Apple's new Adaptive Audio and Conversation Awareness features for AirPods Pro (2nd Generation) are here to help. 

These features automatically adjust your AirPods' noise cancellation and transparency settings based on your environment and what you're doing.

Adaptive Audio

Adaptive Audio uses machine learning to automatically adjust the noise cancellation and transparency levels of your AirPods based on the ambient noise around you. 

For example, if you're in a quiet room, your AirPods will use more transparency to let you hear your surroundings. 

But if you're in a noisy environment, your AirPods will use more noise cancellation to block out the noise.

Conversation Awareness

Conversation Awareness is a sub-feature of Adaptive Audio that automatically lowers your media volume and enhances voices in front of you when you start talking. 

This makes it easy to have conversations without having to remove your AirPods or adjust the settings manually.

Here's how to do it.

To enable Adaptive Audio and Conversation Awareness, follow these steps:

• Make sure your AirPods Pro (2nd Generation) are connected to your iPhone.
• Open the Settings app.
• Tap on AirPods Pro.
• Under Noise Control, toggle on Adaptive.
• To enable Conversation Awareness, toggle on the switch next to Conversation Awareness.
