Google’s future lies in Gemini, its alternative to ChatGPT that is gradually being introduced into all of its apps and services. The company doesn’t want to be left behind in the generative AI craze again, and every few weeks it has been introducing new features and capabilities; unfortunately, most of this information is not available in Spanish, nor is it accessible from Europe.
Little by little, Google is adapting Gemini to other languages and countries, and today’s announcement is an important step in that direction. Spanish Google users can finally create images simply by asking Gemini; All users will be able to create images with Gemini, without having to pay
In the case of Gemini, the creation of images comes through the 3 Image Supportthe new version of the Google model that allows more realistic and convincing creations. In this way, Google should catch up with the competition in one of the functions most used by fans of Artificial Intelligence; However, in the short time it has existed, this model has already been the protagonist of more than one controversy.
At the beginning of the year, the Gemini AI She was accused of “reverse racism”for refusing to create white men and women when the user asked it to create images that included people. Even in a historical context (such as “medieval knight” or “photo of a pope”), the AI still generated images of black or Asian women.
The situation was so absurd that Google CEO Sundar Pichai had to publicly apologize, admitting that it was a mistake: in an attempt to avoid racist controversies, the AI was trained give priority to certain groups of peoplebut the effect was stronger than the engineers expected, completely eliminating people with white skin.
With this update, Google promises to have fixed the generation of images of people. Image 3 was trained to “improve the variety and diversity of concepts” associated with the images, and the data has been filtered for security reasons and checked against fairness principles. All of this should mean that Image 3 will now create images that are more tailored to what the user is asking for, and Google says it tested it “rigorously” before turning it back on.
However, only a few users will be able to check if these changes have taken effect. Google has decided to limit the generation of images of people to paying users; users with free accounts They won’t be able to create images that attract people.. A controversial change, but one that will likely help detect potential problems before they go viral on social media.
Gems is another novelty received by Gemini, although it is not available in Spanish. This is a function that allows customize Gemini to make it an expert AI on any topic. Users themselves will be able to train the AI to focus on certain aspects; for example, an AI specialized in training for a marathon, focusing on fitness, health and nutrition data.
