Google has revealed an experimental travel feature called Talking ToursIt provides AI-generated commentary on over 50 locationsYou can try it out in the Google Arts & Culture app or website Google made it pretty clear with its recent Google Maps upgrades that it wants to be your virtual tour guide – and a new Talking Tours experiment takes those ambitions to the next level.

That approval is likely to be a formality, given Pixelmator is far from the biggest fish in the image editing pool. If you’re a Pixelmator fan, you don’t need to worry about big changes for now – the app maker says there will not be “material changes to the Pixelmator Pro, Pixelmator for iOS, and Photomator apps at this time”. However, it added to “stay tuned for exciting updates to come” and […]
