Engadget: Google AI Image Maker ‘Unprecedented’
- A new artificial intelligence system, dubbed the Imagen diffusion model, is able to create an “unprecedented degree of photorealism and a deep level of language understanding”.
- The model is able to create highly detailed images based on text inputs from users, using any descriptive text to generate an image.
- While the development results are impressive, Google does not believe that it is ready for use by the public, mostly due to algorithmic datasets that end up creating images that reflect “harmful viewpoints” such as stereotypes.
- The team wants to wait to publish the model until a curating system can be developed to censor such topics.
- A limited version of the software is available through a link in the source material.
