Google continues to move forward at full speed with Gemini, its alternative to ChatGPT. The internet giant can’t be far behind if it has any hope of tackling its biggest threat yet, and so it’s improving its AI to catch up. Today, Google is solving one of the areas where Gemini was lagging, image generation.
Image creation has always been one of the main uses of generative AI, and one of the things that has most attracted users who otherwise don’t have much interest in this technology. But everyone loves creating fun pictures, unique works of art or photographs without having any idea about art or having to pick up a pencil.
Starting today, users have the option to use the latest generation of images. It’s called Image 3, and yes, it’s a confusing name, but otherwise there appears to be a significant jump in quality from Google’s previous imaging model.

With Image 3, Google promises higher quality images, in which more details can be seen and fewer imperfections are seen; In other words, it should be less noticeable that it is an AI-created image, which is obvious to the naked eye on many low-quality models. Specifically, Google claims that Image 3 produces photorealistic images, so it is especially recommended to use it to create images that represent the real world. At the same time, he also claims that AI is capable of applying all kinds of styles on demand, from classic oil paintings to modern digital art.
However, if we try to take advantage of this ability to create realistic photos of people we know, we might get an unpleasant surprise: Gemini Only allows paid users to create images with people

This limitation is not only there to allow Google to make more money, but also to control the generation of problematic images to some extent. Remember that Google is still recovering from a big controversy over “reverse racism”in which its AI refused to create images of white people; The company claimed its attempt not to create racist images had failed and removed the feature. By limiting AI persona creation to paid accounts, Google also prevents social media from being filled with criticism again if the AI fails in the same way again.
