Google Upgrades AI Chatbot Bard with New Image Generation Capabilities
- Google's AI chatbot Bard can now generate images from text prompts in addition to text responses
- Bard's image generation is free and creates "custom, wide-ranging visuals" though it takes about 13 seconds per image
- Bard has accuracy issues at times, declining to generate some requested images, but does have guardrails against harmful content
- New updates allow Bard to access over 40 languages and roll out to over 230 countries and territories
- Bard leverages Google's AI model Gemini to understand text, reason, summarize and code abilities for more advanced responses
