Canva's Magic Layers AI feature replaces 'Palestine' with 'Ukraine' in designs, like changing 'cats for Palestine' to 'cats for Ukraine.' An X user discovers the glitch, limited to 'Palestine,' which others replicate before Canva fixes it and adds checks. The incident highlights reliability issues in Canva's AI tools amid competition with Adobe.

An X user discovered Canva's Magic Layers AI feature replacing 'Palestine' with 'Ukraine' in designs. User @ros_ie9 found the tool changed 'cats for Palestine' to 'cats for Ukraine,' despite being designed only to separate flat images into editable components without visible alterations.

The glitch appeared limited to 'Palestine,' as related terms like 'Gaza' remained unaffected. Other users reported replicating the issue before Canva addressed it, though tests by The Verge reporter Jess Weatherbed showed no alterations.

Canva spokesperson Louisa Green stated, 'We became aware of an issue with our Magic Layers feature and moved quickly to investigate and fix it.' The company has resolved the problem and added checks to prevent recurrence, apologizing for any distress caused.
