Google has also upgraded its Imagen 3 capabilities. “We’ve upgraded our creative image generation capabilities, and over the coming days, we’re bringing our latest image generation model, Imagen 3, to Gemini Apps and expanding its availability for users in all languages,” it said.
Google added, “We don’t support the generation of photorealistic, identifiable individuals, depictions of minors or excessively gory, violent or sexual scenes. Of course, not every image Gemini creates will be perfect, but we’ll continue to listen to feedback from early access Gemini Advanced users as we keep improving. We’ll gradually roll this out, aiming to bring it to more users and languages soon.”
