Google’s Advanced Text to Image Technology: A Game Changer in AI Art
Introduction
Google and DeepMind have recently been making waves in the field of visual AI with their latest releases – Lumiere, the text-to-video technology, and now Image In 2, their most advanced text-to-image technology. These images generated by Image In 2 are photo-realistic, vivid, stunning, and accurate. Let’s take a closer look at what this technology is capable of, how it can be used, and what it means for Google.
Capabilities of Image In 2
Image In 2 uses a text-to-image diffusion technology to produce photo-realistic outputs and lifelike images. These images are going to be available in Google search generative experiences and Google Labs experiments called Image Effects. Developers will also have access to the Image In 2 API in the cloud, opening up a world of possibilities.
Examples of Text to Image Generation
Here are some examples of text prompts and the images they produced using Image In 2:
- Text Prompt: “A long-haired miniature dog on a couch”
- Result: An image of a dog on a couch which looks incredibly realistic and detailed.
- Text Prompt: “Jellyfish on a black background”
- Result: An image of a jellyfish on a black background, beautifully rendered and lifelike.
- Text Prompt: “An oil painting of an orange on a chopping board”
- Result: A stunning oil painting of an orange on a chopping board with intricate details and realistic lighting.
Improvements in Image Caption Understanding
Image In 2 has improved image caption understanding and added further descriptions to image captions in its training set. This leads to more accurate and detailed image generation based on text prompts.
Realistic Image Generation
Image In 2 focuses on generating realistic hands, human faces, and minimizing visual artifacts that can sometimes occur in AI-generated images. The technology also includes a specialized image aesthetics model based on human preferences for lighting, framing, exposure, sharpness, and more.
Fluid Style Conditioning
One of the key features of Image In 2 is its fluid style conditioning, which provides a high degree of flexibility to control and adjust the style of the image. By providing reference style images and text prompts, users can condition Image In 2 to generate new imagery that follows a specific style.
Advanced Inpainting and Outpainting
Image In 2 allows users to generate new content directly into an original image (inpainting) or extend the original image beyond its normal borders (outpainting). This feature enhances creativity and opens up new possibilities for image manipulation.
Enterprise-Ready Features
Google’s Image In 2 is also equipped with an API in Vertex AI that allows for high-quality, high-resolution image generation, logo creation, and product shots. This Enterprise-ready tool enables users to interact with, tune, customize, and embed Foundation models into their applications without the need for ML expertise.
Copyright Indemnification
Google has implemented a two-pronged copyright indemnification approach to protect users from legal troubles when using Image In 2 and Vertex AI for image generation. This ensures that users can safely use AI art for commercial purposes without facing copyright issues.
Conclusion
Image In 2 is a groundbreaking technology that is pushing the boundaries of AI art and image generation. With its photo-realistic outputs, advanced features, and Enterprise-ready capabilities, Image In 2 is set to revolutionize the way we create and interact with digital art. As Google continues to improve this technology, we can expect to see a rise in AI-generated content across various industries. The future of AI art looks bright with Image In 2 leading the way.
7:00 LOL!!! How did this happen on the most censored image generator of all time!?
Imagen seems to be good, but far too constrained by the policies.
oh it's great! but it doesn't work….
Way too much censorship, it's why I stopped using AI image creators. I get it but it's just too frustrating and limiting.
your examples were stupid, sexual and blasphemous. please think next time
ImageFX is way too woke and easily triggered. So much for artistic freedom.
How come that Google releases its AI models on different platforms? Are they all owned by google? Or allows Google others to use their service in order to improve their models capabilities?
Holy fucking fuck… quality of the AI is completely overshadowed by the idiotically wild level of censorship… No thanks
Potential business users will love this, safe to use and safe to publish.
Loving the Political Correctness Nurturing. Also, not a single image looks better then what I can pull out of ComfyUI on my own computer.. for FREE… and I can type in whatever I want!
The perspective you were looking for is worms eye view
Google's authoritarianism makes 1984 look like 2077.
All this censorship is going to be the death of this system. Someone will make one that is comparably good and not censored and it will beat this easily.
Sheesh.. This level of censorship of creative freedom, to keep everything in line with corporate safe topics, REALLY shouldn't be acceptable. And should be heavily criticized by everyone.
Imagine if Photoshop from the start, told artists using their tool what topics they were allowed to draw with it. Or if YouTube from the start had this level of topic sanitization. They never would've caught on! The AI industry needs wake up and realize that FAST.. Stop treating AI differently from other tools, it's not generating things on the behalf of the company that made the AI, it's doing it on behalf of the USER using it. If someone makes controversial images with AI, that is on THEM, not the company that made the tool. This needs to be made clear to the public, ASAP.
How do I get access to this?
how can you say these look good?… it isn't even up to DALL-E 3 standards. At a time Google had the lead but they never released their models to the public until now, when it's too late and everything they're introducing is DOA.
Ok, people can make pretty pictures with no effort. What value does that have to most people in society? (Especially when almost anyone can do it.). It’s an amazing technical accomplishment. But most people have no need or use for it.
the female cyborg thumbnail is overused and irrelevant
Imagen-2 doesn’t seem any better than SDXL and Google locked it down tight. Don’t waste your time.
Their policy makes it useless and very generic. Sad.
Gotten a lot better doing letters and writing…
– This tool isn’t available in your country yet – sigh.
The push to filter out certain words due to health and safety concerns has gone way too far. In this short demo, I think you clearly demonstrated how broken these policies make the user experience.
Very impressive. I just wish that these companies would stop being so ridiculous with their ideological indoctrination. I mean seriously, you can't draw a picture of a church, or someone praying? Get real. People are going to be offended by crap no matter what you make, it's not the AI companies job to be the ethic police. What if someone were creating an image that they were going to show in church during a lesson? That wouldn't be offensive to anyone there. Sheesh Google. Pull your head out.
To bad that Google Bard is stil on PaLM 2, even though according to them it has been on the Gemini Pro 😀 And Imagen is also "not available in your country" (Poland, Europe) 😀
IMAGEN 2 generates great image, but the rails around it are far too tight.
