This is similar to Google’s Magic Eraser which was first introduced on the Pixel 6 series back in 2021.

OnePlus says that its ai Eraser is based on its own large language model. The company demonstrates how the feature will work. It will appear within the OnePlus Photos gallery app. Users have to open the photo they want to edit and select the unwanted parts like people, trash or any other imperfections in the picture they want to erase. ai will then do its job by analyzing the selected area and intelligently replacing it to seamlessly blend with the original scene.
