Google Bard may soon have its own AI image generator

Google plans to integrate the renderer with artificial intelligence (AI) directly into Bard. The feature’s inclusion was found in an unreleased release note, but was discovered this Wednesday (17) by tipsters at X (formerly Twitter).

According to the print shared by tipster Dyaln Roussel (@evowizz, on X), the update note is scheduled to be released this Thursday (18). In it, Google briefly explains how the tool works.

Return to the future? ??

Here’s what happens next in Bard. . . Tomorrow.

Rendering images with Bard will use Imagen, Google’s Text-to-Image “spreading technology.” https://t.co/FNeiCsS2ar

“With Bard, you can create stunning images for work, play, or anything else,” Google states. “It’s easy to use: just enter a few words to bring your imagination to life,” he added.

According to the company, the resource currently only works with English prompts. Based on the results, you can ask the AI ​​to create other images and you are free to download the ones you like the most.

In the text, Google does not specify which generative model is used by the tool to create images. It is possible that the innovation will be powered by some versions of Imagen, which received its second version in December.

The tool should be somewhat similar to the tool found in Search Generative Experience (SGE) and Slides. With these, users have the freedom to create images in different styles, as long as they do not contain dangerous, misleading or obscene content.

Will the launch happen soon?

If the information in the leaked release note is correct, Bard will receive its own renderer today (18).

It’s unclear whether the tool will be available on all platforms where Bard is available, or if it will arrive in all regions at the same time. Due to language restrictions, the resource can only be released in the United States.
