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.

The Circuitry is a passion project I've always wanted to build, and I love the work behind it.

Running it costs real money. APIs, hosting, time. To keep improving the site and growing this into something useful for everyone, those costs have to be covered.

Any contribution is appreciated. If not, no pressure. Thanks for reading.
