Google Gemini set to introduce AI images of people with Imagen 3
Google has announced significant updates to its Gemini platform, introducing Custom Gems and enhanced image generation capabilities with Imagen 3. Gems allow users to customize Gemini to create personal AI experts on any topic. Available for Gemini Advanced, Business, and Enterprise users, simply write instructions for your Gem, give it a name, and then chat with it whenever you want.
Premade Gems
To assist users in getting started, Google is launching premade Gems for different scenarios. One such scenario is a career guide that helps unlock your career potential by providing detailed plans to refine your skills and achieve your career goals. The Writing Editor premade gem can elevate your writing through clear, constructive feedback on grammar, structure, and more.
Google has also upgraded its creative image generation capabilities, introducing the latest image generation model, Imagen 3, to Gemini Apps. Imagen 3 sets a new standard for image quality, generating high-quality images with just a few words. Users can request Gemini to create images in various styles, such as photorealistic landscapes, textured oil paintings, or whimsical claymation scenes.
Generation of Images of People
Google will soon roll out the generation of images of people, with an early access version for Gemini Advanced, Business, and Enterprise users in English. While technical improvements and enhancements have been made to the product, Google has set boundaries, ensuring that the technology does not support the generation of photorealistic, identifiable individuals, depictions of minors, or excessively gory, violent, or sexual scenes.
Google aims to refine the user experience, bring new capabilities to a broader audience, and continue listening to feedback from early users for further improvements.
