Google’s Bard AI can now generate images

Today Google brought generative AI to Maps, but it also announced some new developments for Bard. The most important of those is that Bard can now use Gemini Pro, Google’s latest multimodal AI model, in all the languages and territories where Bard is already available.

Previously, Gemini Pro was brought into Bard only for English, giving it “more advanced understanding, reasoning, summarizing and coding abilities”.

Bard can also finally generate images. This is available in English “in most countries around the world” for free. The capability is powered by Google’s newest Imagen 2 model, which is “designed to balance quality and speed, delivering high-quality, photorealistic outputs”.

As you’d expect, using this capability is as simple as typing a description into Bard’s text box. You’ll then get “custom, wide-ranging visuals to help bring your idea to life”. Bard uses SynthID to embed digitally identifiable watermarks into the pixels of generated images, so that there’s a clear way to figure out they were AI generated.

Finally, you can now double-check Bard’s output with Google search results in more than 40 languages by clicking on the G icon. Once you click that, Bard will evaluate whether there’s content across the web that substantiates its response. You’ll get highlighted phrases and will be able to learn more about supporting or contradicting information found by Google search.

Google says the Large Model Systems Organization, a “leading evaluator of language models and chatbots across languages” thinks Bard with Gemini Pro is “one of the most preferred chatbots available”, with or without cost, noting that it has made a “stunning leap forward”. Blind evaluations by Google’s third-party raters also identified Bard with Gemini Pro as “one of the top-performing conversational AIs, compared to leading free and paid alternatives”.
