Earlier this year Samsung revealed its new Sketch to Image tool, which uses AI to transform rough doodles into more polished images. I recently got the opportunity to try this feature on the new Samsung Galaxy Tab S10+ and S10 Ultra.
So, of course, I drew boobs.
SEE ALSO: 5 best Samsung Galaxy AI features announced at July Unpacked 2024Artificial intelligence is the undisputed darling of the tech industry right now, with practically everyone scrambling to incorporate it wherever they can. Tech giant Samsung is no exception, having enhanced their devices with a constellation of AI-powered features in Galaxy AI.
Among these features is Sketch to Image, a generative AI tool that aims to turn even the worst Pictionary player's drawings into attractive, legible images. Speaking to Mashable at a Sydney press event, Samsung's representatives demonstrated that Sketch to Image can be used for tasks such as creating profile pictures, sprucing up infographics, and adding hats to photos of dogs.
They also confirmed that Sketch to Image has inbuilt safeguards to prevent the exact type of misuse I was blatantly conspiring to their face.
This was not unexpected. It would have been more surprising had Samsung's development team not accounted for human depravity. Yet all prisons are inescapable until someone escapes, and I was not about to be deterred from my efforts by the mere presence of a lock.
For a given value of "masterpiece." Credit: Amanda Yeo / MashableThe most obvious test of Samsung's Sketch to Image tool would have been that schooldesk stalwart of meat and two veg. Penile pictorials are the quintessential inappropriate doodle, adorning public bathrooms and alleyways alike.
However, surrounded by fellow tech reporters and Samsung representatives, I admit I felt too embarrassed to attempt even a crude doodle of a doodle. While I dabbled in drawing during my high school years, I was never gripped by the adolescent inclination toward genitalia. Having lived an offensively mild, rule-abiding life up until now, I was not prepared for my first attempt at such illicit artworks to have an audience.
As such, I opted for an arguably less confronting subject that has been extensively studied throughout the history of fine art, and which I speculated might be less aggressively censored. To wit, the nude female form.
In context, this line was too scandalous for Samsung's Sketch to Image to work with. Credit: Amanda Yeo / MashableNaturally, the focal point of my artwork had to be a respectable pair of big naturals. The image needed to be recognisably risque for testing purposes, after all. Even so, I was still too shy to include any obvious indicators of nudity beyond a visible belly button, furtively sketching an exaggerated but bashfully nondescript feminine figure.
Yet despite my demure inclinations, Samsung's Galaxy AI had no trouble picking up what I was putting down — and promptly putting it back down again.
My request to generate an image from my rude scribble did trigger a loading screen, indicating that Sketch to Image was on the job. However, Samsung soon bumped me back to my questionable artwork with a notification that it "Can't generate with this content," like an art teacher who isn't mad, just disappointed.
Samsung's Sketch to Image setting healthy boundaries. Credit: Amanda Yeo / MashableGalaxy AI was not having a bar of my M-rated shenanigans, and I honestly hadn't expected it to. In some ways it was a relief. I do not care to contemplate the sheer panic that would have overtaken me had I been presented with an anatomically correct image akin to Kate Winslet's portrait in Titanic.
Even so, I am not one to give up at the first obstacle. I thus resolved to determine how much I'd need to alter my Samsung-disapproved art in order for Sketch to Image to accept it, like the Mythbusters build team continuing to pile explosives onto an experiment.
I finally produced a drawing deemed acceptable by Samsung's AI. Credit: Amanda Yeo / MashableAdding a tight tank top and shorts to my drawing wasn't enough to placate Galaxy AI, with Sketch to Image refusing to budge even when faced with spaghetti straps. To be fair, the few thin lines potentially signifying a garment only marginally differentiated the drawing from my first improper attempt.
However, Samsung's AI did finally deem the same doodle safe to work with. All I had to do was erase the prominent underboob line outlining my model's mammaries.
Samsung's Sketch to Image offers various options for how AI can spruce up your drawing. Credit: Amanda Yeo / MashableSketch to Image's AI interpretation of my artwork did introduce some shading indicative of a notable chest, which I had not included in my submitted image. However my bold, unapologetic bust lines were apparently too much for its modest sensibilities.
Interestingly, while I did not give my naked lady facial features at any point, Galaxy AI's Sketch to Image also inserted a gently smiling Bold Glamour face into one of the four sketch options if offered to me, even adding an ear. It appears that, when given no direction, this is what Samsung's AI thinks a woman's face looks like.
This face was entirely Samsung's doing. Credit: Amanda Yeo / MashableI didn't get to play with Samsung's Sketch to Image for too long, so was unable to test other unsafe for work imagery or incrementally loosening clothes. Sketch to Image wouldn't allow me to partially erase lines, taking an all or nothing approach to each collection of strokes.
As such, I would have had to completely redraw entire sections to conduct such experiments, and everyone had more important things to do than watch me draw hundreds of people in varying states of dress. Even had I continued my foray into artistic debauchery, I remain unconvinced that further experimentation would have eventually yielded the obscene scenes I sought.
Really, it's for the best. Generative AI has limitless potential for misuse and abuse without safeguards in place, as we've already seen from the rise of explicit deepfakes. Guardrails such as Galaxy AI's rejection of racy imagery are necessary to curb humanity's darkest impulses as we hurtle onward, fascinated by possibility to the neglect of wisdom. They also prevent budding young artists from inadvertently creating images featuring subject matter unsuitable for their age.
Besides, there's no shortage of nudity on the internet for mature audiences with eyes to see. Even without the help of Samsung's AI, one can find a veritable smorgasbord of illustrated genitalia online, whether it be sketched, painted, or lovingly rendered as a 3D model.
If such imagery is what your heart truly desires, this longing can be easily sated with a standard internet search. The results may not be as personalised as a picture from Samsung's Sketch to Image tool, but with the amount of variety out there, chances are you'll find images with much more artistic flair than if the AI acquiesced to sprucing up your surreptitious juvenile sketches.
If you're reading this, you're looking for a little help playing Strands, the New York Times' elevated word-search game.
Strands requires the player to perform a twist on the classic word search. Words can be made from linked letters — up, down, left, right, or diagonal, but words can also change direction, resulting in quirky shapes and patterns. Every single letter in the grid will be part of an answer. There's always a theme linking every solution, along with the "spangram," a special, word or phrase that sums up that day's theme, and spans the entire grid horizontally or vertically.

NFL RedZone appeared to be having issues during Sunday's Week 9 slate of games.
Users online reported choppy, blurry, or nearly unwatchable streams. And it might not be just a streaming issue or something wrong with a certain provider. My RedZone was freezing and buffering, even though it is through my cable provider. (Yes, I am a millennial with cable).
Here is a sampling of some of the posts about RedZone.
Tweet may have been deleted Tweet may have been deleted Tweet may have been deleted Tweet may have been deleted Tweet may have been deleted Tweet may have been deleted Tweet may have been deletedIt's not quite clear what may be going wrong. Users online described all their other channels working correctly — and it's the same for me. All of my other channels are working well, while the RedZone channel is choppy, buffering, and impossible to watch.
There was a spike in reports of issues with NFL Network on Down Detector around 1 p.m. ET on Sunday, which is when the first slate of games kicked off. (There's no page to report RedZone so that might be the closest proxy.)
Credit: Screenshot: Down DetectorMy own RedZone was going in and out, so if yours isn't working it might be worth retrying it. We'll update if any information surfaces on why folks might be having issues.
Mashable has reached out to the NFL's media team and will update if we get a response.

If you’ve been dying to get your hands on a Dyson Airwrap, now’s your chance. Walmart’s got the Dyson Airwrap Origin Multi-Styler Long Vinca Blue/Rosé (refurbished) on sale for $249.99. That’s a whopping $100 off the list price. (A brand-new one will run you $599.99.)
With the Dyson Airwrap, you can hide flyaways and get a salon-worthy look with just a few pulls through your hair. Its powerful V9 motor and adjustable heat settings allow for customized styling, while three included attachments can help you create volume, curls, waves, and more right at home. The only caveat is that this deal doesn't come with a storage case.
Yes, we know it’s refurbished — but don’t take that as a bad thing. Dyson products are known for their durability and craftsmanship, so a refurbished model is still a great buy. They’re also vetted by Dyson to ensure quality.

The Echo Pop is small but still features the same Alexa voice assistant as Amazon's more premium Echo devices.

If you'd rather not use the voice controls, you can stream your favorite podcasts and music via Bluetooth.
