At Google I/O 2017, Google showed what quickly became one of its most infamous product teases in history: removing a chain link fence from a picture of a child playing baseball. The pitch was that we would soon be able to remove pesky fences automatically from our pictures with the help of computer vision, and it looked like magic.

While Google Photos would eventually get object removal for more obvious photo distractions like garbage cans and photo-bombers, the fence-erasing we had long been promised never came to fruition. However, over eight years later, that’s changed.

Thanks to Google’s two latest AI image editing tools — Help Me Edit and Gemini Nano Banana — the fence-removing future Google promised in 2017 is finally here. And the results are pretty incredible.
