Google’s AI chatbot, Bard, is set to introduce a new text-to-image generator feature that could leverage Imagen 2, a software used by Vertex AI. According to leaked patch notes, users will be able to create captivating images for various purposes using Bard. The generator will initially support English prompts, with the option to download images and explore additional features through a Generate More button.
While the feature was expected to arrive on January 18, Google released an update for Bard that did not include the rumored image generator. However, the update expanded Bard Extensions to more languages, including Japanese and Korean, and introduced support for language export to Replit, adding to the existing support for Python.
If the leaked information is accurate, Bard’s integration with Imagen 2 could potentially coincide with another leaked feature allowing users to create bots and manage long-running tasks. Imagen 2, which debuted in December, is a text-to-image generator that offers photorealistic results and enhanced text rendering capabilities.
These developments follow Google Search’s AI image generator through the SGE Labs experience and further demonstrate Google’s push for AI-driven image creation. As Bard continues to evolve, users can look forward to more advanced features that enhance their experience and offer even greater possibilities.
The potential integration of Imagen 2 with Bard could not only strengthen the chatbot’s image generation capabilities but also support the rumored Tasks function, allowing users to efficiently manage complex tasks such as generating images. While specific details about these features remain unknown, they have generated excitement among users who eagerly anticipate their release.
As Google continues to invest in AI technologies, Bard stands as a testament to the company’s dedication to improving user experiences and pushing the boundaries of what AI can achieve. By tapping into the power of text-to-image generation, Bard has the potential to revolutionize the way we create and interact with visual content.
