Alex Harker's experience with Google Photos at Lake Louise ski resort sparked hilarity when the app's AI panorama feature produced a highly flawed image. 

After taking three photos - one with friends and two without - Google Photos automatically stitched them together, resulting in a panorama that humorously exaggerated the size of his friend's upper torso, making it appear disproportionately large against the scenic backdrop.

Harker shared the amusing result on Reddit, where it quickly gained traction, amassing over 187,000 upvotes. Users praised the seamless blending of the images despite the comical error, with one commenter noting the impressive stitching quality aside from the "giant head" anomaly. 

The incident highlighted the occasional missteps of AI in photo editing.
