Avast ye scallywags! Google be proclamatin' that Bard shall be blessed with a grand AI image creator, aye! 'Tis as easy as swiggin' grog, me hearties!
In a hilarious twist, Google Bard has introduced an AI image generation feature that allows users to create images by simply entering a few words into the search bar. The generated images can be downloaded and are stored in pinned chats, recent chats, and Bard Activity.This new feature is powered by the updated Imagen 2 model, which aims to deliver photorealistic images while balancing speed and quality. However, it is only available in English and restricted to users aged 18 and above. Google claims to embed digitally identifiable watermarks into the generated images to distinguish them from human-created works, possibly to prevent commercial use.
Google also emphasizes its efforts to limit violent, offensive, or sexual content in the training data and applies filters to prevent named individuals from being involved in image generation. This responsible approach aligns with the need to prevent potential legal issues.
Additionally, the update to Bard's AI will enhance its capabilities in understanding, summarizing, reasoning, brainstorming, writing, and planning. This upgrade has likely enabled Google to offer the AI image generator tool for free.
Google Bard's rise doesn't stop there. It seems to be gradually replacing Google Assistant, as evidenced by the change in the greeting pop-up on various devices from 'I'm Assistant with Bard' to simply 'I'm Bard.' The company has also announced the removal of 17 features from Assistant, hinting at more feature removals to come.
All in all, Google Bard's AI image generation feature adds a fun and creative element to the popular image generating trend. It's clear that Google is investing heavily in Bard and positioning it as a significant player in the AI space.
