Bard generates photos now, finally

Google's Bard chatbot now includes AI image generation, catching up to its competitor ChatGPT Plus. Users can prompt Bard to generate photos using Google's Imagen 2 text-to-image model. Google has positioned Bard as a rival to ChatGPT Plus, but the lack of text-to-image features gave ChatGPT Plus an advantage. Bard's image capability incorporates a watermarking feature to indicate AI-generated images and includes safeguards to avoid generating explicit or offensive content. Google also released an experimental photo tool called ImageFX powered by Imagen 2. Bard has expanded to over 40 languages in more than 230 countries.

The new website requires a Meta account and generates four 1280x1280 pixel images that can be saved in JPEG format.
