Google’s Bard game is stepping up its game by introducing an exciting new feature – AI image generation. With this latest addition, Bard is set to compete directly with its rival ChatGPT Plus.
The process is simple – visit the website, provide a brief description of the desired image, and within moments, the AI generates the image for you.
Notably, Bard’s service is free of charge, distinguishing itself from other AI image tools and making it accessible for everyone to unleash their creativity.
While currently capable of creating simple images, expectations are high that Bard will continue to improve over time.
Easy Image Creation: Unleash Your Imagination with Bard
Users can now prompt Bard to create images using Google’s Imagen 2 text-to-image model.
Despite initially being expected to be powered by the Gemini Ultra model, Bard is currently utilizing Google’s Gemini Pro large language model, with ongoing development for further enhancements.
Competition Heats Up: Bard vs. ChatGPT Plus
Google’s new chatbot, Bard, is now in direct competition with OpenAI’s ChatGPT Plus.
While ChatGPT Plus boasts superior power, utilizing the “DALL-E 3” tool for image creation, Bard has now leveled the playing field by incorporating its own image-making tool, named “Imagen 2”.
An additional advantage is that Bard remains a free service, whereas ChatGPT Plus requires payment.
Ensuring Responsible Use: Security Measures for Bard-Generated Images
Google prioritizes responsible usage of images created through Bard and has implemented stringent security measures.
Each image is embedded with a special mark, indicating its computer-generated origin.
Furthermore, technical restrictions are in place to prevent the generation of images featuring famous individuals, violence, profanity, or obscene content.
New Photo Tool in the Mix: Introducing Google’s “ImageFX”
In addition to Bard, Google has unveiled a new photo tool named “ImageFX,” currently in the testing phase.
Powered by the “Imagen 2” technology, ImageFX allows users to create images by simply typing words. User feedback directly contributes to the tool’s improvement, much like Bard. Similar to Bard, photos created with ImageFX will bear a special mark.
