Google Pulls Earth AI Image Tool After Misinformation Fears

Summary

Google added Nano Banana 2 image generation to Google Earth on Thursday.
Critics warned that fabricated satellite-style scenes could be reused as misinformation.
Google said generated images carried SynthID watermarks and were not added to the shared map.
The company rolled the feature back one day later while it develops stronger guardrails.

The question

Was Google right to pull the feature instead of leaving it live with warnings?
