Google also launches tools for image generation.

Whether you like it or not, AI – artificial intelligence that is – continues to develop at an impressive pace. Now Google has just announced that Gemini Pro has been launched globally, which means that it is available in over 230 countries and in more than 40 languages. It finally also includes Norway.
Gemini Pro is simply explained a more advanced version of Googles Bard-chatbotand should probably have greater abilities for advanced argumentation, planning and general understanding of various topics.
In addition, it must be able to take text, images, sound, video and code into account when it generates its answers, so it is a so-called “multimodal” model.
Gemini Pro has already been available in English for a couple of months, but now Bard should have improved in other languages as well.
From text to images

At the same time, Google releases the news of a generative AI tool for image generation. This should be able to be done directly through Bard and makes use of a text-to-image technology Google calls Image 2.
This technology is supposed to offer a decent balance between photorealism and speed.
Google also states that all images created are watermarked using the company’s own SynthID–technology. This will ensure that such images can be identified as generated, while at the same time it should not be visible to ordinary people.
We also get an alternative to using Bard for image generation via the tool ImageFX. The underlying technology is the same, but this tool is supposed to be able to offer suggestions for improving or changing an image that has been generated.
Typically enough, we as parishioners to the European market have to wait a bit, as this very thing about making pictures with Bard is so far limited to the USA and certain other areas.
