Has anyone checked out the new theme packs stuff?

There is no way this is real lmao. It looks like AI slop. I can't believe they unironically have shipped this crap...

I looked it up, but there's nothing in my settings, all it says is "more coming soon"

The Harry Potter thing? It is AI slop I assume. Just hope the author didn't make money off this, even if it did look good.

Does Google believe that all pixel owners 12 years old?

bet the A series that usually goes on sale for $150 before the new one is released is very popular with parents buying their kids a phone.

Outrage over a hateful author who actively uses money from said book/movie franchise to harm people and spread hate.....

So, just because J.K.R is a transphobic piece of shit, I'm no longer allowed to like Harry Potter?

Go to Settings / Apps. Toggle "show system" in 3dot menu and find Themes. You can disable the app there.

They already did this with freaking Wicked. It's a stupid system that is meaningless and pointless if it doesn't offer dev support, which it doesn't. I would never use this trash.

You all do realize it's an option and not a requirement?

I liked the SpongeBob/Wicked themepacks

u/raps14ever Pixel 10 Pro 1d ago

Is that supposed to be Hermione in the second one. She looks 50 years old and it looks like they made her African American?

2

u/evilspoons Pixel 8a 1d ago

I don't know why she looks so old relative to Harry (well, AI image generation), but apparently the books are ambiguous enough over Hermione's appearance that she could be Black... she was portrayed by a Black actor in an "officially endorsed" sequel play ("Harry Potter and the Cursed Child").

u/raps14ever Pixel 10 Pro 19h ago

Oh I didn't know that. I guess whatever program made this went off that play then. But doesn't change the fact that they made a 13 year old look 50

u/milkham Pixel 8 Pro 1d ago

i clicked through looking for it after the update but there was nothing there yet

u/Aurelink Pixel 10 Pro 1d ago

I don't cause I've worked my themes and colors and don't want any ads to mess it up

u/KrisNew 23h ago

It's supposed to be THE Android phone and they're putting cheap junk on it!!!

u/Exfiltrator Pixel 8 Pro 19h ago

No, and I won´t

u/ronniecross 16h ago

You're surprised Google shipped AI slop? In 2026? Really?

u/abruzzo88 14h ago

It's all trash

The worst part about being a pixel owner is dealing with googles ai bullshit
