The Google Pixel magic eraser ad is an advertisement campaign introduced by Google to promote the magic eraser feature on the Google Pixel smartphone. The ad showcases the capabilities of the magic eraser tool to remove unwanted objects or distractions from photos seamlessly. In the ad, a woman is seen taking a photo near a beach, but an unwanted person photobombs her shot. Frustrated, she uses the magic eraser tool on her Google Pixel to remove the person from the photo effortlessly. The ad emphasizes the simplicity and convenience of using the magic eraser feature, demonstrating how it can easily enhance the quality of photos by eliminating unwanted elements. The magic eraser tool is a powerful feature included in the Google Photos app.
It starts with a “For years, our phones have captured our memories” tagline with various family moments that have background imperfections shown. Google then shows how fixing them is as simple as circling what you want to remove as “We Run This” by Missy Elliot plays. The last 30 seconds of the ad is devoted to Photo Unblur and enhancing images. The ending tagline is Google Pixel 7. The only phone engineered by Google.”

The Stupid Google Pixel Magic Eraser Commercial
I'm not sure when this happened but, New Year's Eve is now the most important sports day on the calendar. Back-to-back College Football Playoff games, including TCU vs Michigan in the Fiesta Bowl in Glendale (a couple of guys wearing Hypnotoad shirts walked into the coffee shop when I was writing this); Alabama, who is probably the best team in the country, destroyed #9 Kansas State earlier in the day; ASU vs Arizona college basketball in Tempe; and what feels like a thousand hockey and basketball games.
The dumbest commercial on TV will show dozens of times throughout these games: the Google Pixel commercial. Google’s pitch to convince you to buy a new phone is a feature that allows you to scrub out unwanted things from the background of pictures. In one commercial, Giannis Antetokounmpo takes a selfie and scrubs out a guy eating a hot dog in the background. In another commercial, a guy takes a picture of his wife on a famous hike and scrubs out all the tourists in the background.
I’ve been able to scrub out things in the background of my pictures since 2005 when I first used Photoshop. You can go to the App Store and download a free app that can “magic erase” anything you want. Google is spending millions of dollars promoting a feature that isn’t unique.
The Google Pixel Pro is $899.
The crazy thing is, I’m sure that it’s working. Google isn’t dumb. They know their audience and it’s probably resonating with them. There would be no other reason to show this stupid feature in all of their commercials.
But, this has less to do with Google than it does with human behavior. We want the new thing because we want to stunt over our neighbors. Even if it's paying $1,000 just to say, hey look, I can remove that thing from my picture.
This has confounded many of us, including Henry Ford. Mr. Ford built durable and long-lasting cars. The problem is that you can’t sell more cars if people still drive the old ones. General Motors decided to come out with a new car every year that was slightly different than the previous model - the antithesis of Ford. Eventually, GM took Ford’s market share and Ford, reluctantly, had to start doing the same new-model-every-year thing.
Do we need a new iPhone every year? The iPhone is damn-near a perfect product; there isn’t much room for improvement. But Apple knows people will buy the new thing, so they’ll come up with one new feature or make it slightly faster and people will buy them.
There are many environmentalists that want to change consumerism. I think that's stupid. We shouldn't be butting our heads against human behavior. Instead, we should take advantage of this human quirk and design sustainable products around that. Want a new phone every year? Rent this one and exchange it next year. Apple updates iOS every year and after I update my phone, it feels like I have a new one.
Sex will always sell and people will always want to keep up with Joneses. Let’s use this to our advantage instead of slamming our collective heads repeatedly against the, “we can convince people to consume less,” wall.

Reviews for "Streamline Your Editing Workflow with the Google Pixel Magic Eraser"
1. John - 1/5 - I was extremely disappointed with the Google Pixel Magic Eraser ad. The ad made it seem like the product could magically erase any mistake or blemish from photos, but in reality, it was far from that. The eraser tool was clunky and imprecise, often leaving behind remnants of the original mistake. It was frustrating to use and didn't live up to its claims. I wouldn't recommend wasting your time or money on this product.
2. Lisa - 2/5 - The Google Pixel Magic Eraser ad seemed promising, but it fell short of my expectations. The ad showcased stunning before and after photos, leading me to believe that this tool could easily fix any photo flaw. However, when I tried it myself, I found that it was not as accurate or effective as depicted. It often distorted the surrounding areas and left a noticeable trace of the edit. Overall, it was a letdown and didn't live up to the hype.
3. Michael - 1/5 - The Google Pixel Magic Eraser ad was a complete hoax. It advertised the eraser tool as a revolutionary solution to perfecting photos, but in reality, it was just another gimmick. The edit capabilities were limited, and the results were far from seamless. It was more of a hassle than a helpful tool, and it didn't deliver the promised magic. I regret purchasing this product and would advise others not to waste their money on it.
4. Sarah - 2/5 - I had high hopes for the Google Pixel Magic Eraser, but it left me feeling underwhelmed. The ad depicted quick and flawless edits, but the actual tool was slow and often produced inaccurate results. It struggled to detect edges and often missed areas that needed editing. It was frustrating having to go back and manually fix the mistakes the eraser tool couldn't handle. Overall, it was a disappointing experience and not worth the investment.
