Google Releases Powerful AI Image Generator You Can Use for Free

Google has launched Imagen 3, an advanced AI image generator, available for free through its AI Test Kitchen service in the U.S. Initially announced in May, the model was released following a research paper detailing its capabilities. Imagen 3 allows users to input prompts and generates images in approximately 30 seconds, boasting superior detail, lighting, and fewer artifacts compared to previous models. It is designed to understand prompts better, enabling a variety of visual styles and intricate details. However, it has restrictions on certain requests, such as generating images of public figures together or in specific artistic styles. Users can also edit images using inpainting techniques. Despite its capabilities, concerns have been raised regarding the dataset used for training, which likely includes copyrighted images. This release follows previous controversies surrounding Google's AI image generators, including accusations of bias correction that led to the removal of another model. Users can access Imagen 3 through the DeepMind website.
