Google is preparing to reintroduce a feature allowing users to create images of people using its Gemini AI tool.
This feature was initially removed in February due to problems with generating historically inaccurate images, which led to public embarrassment.
The new version, called Imagen 3, will first be available to select users, such as those in the Google Gemini Advanced, Business, and Enterprise tiers.
The development team focused on improving the product by implementing better evaluation methods.
The original image generation feature was paused after users reported significant inaccuracies. For instance, when asked to generate an image of a German soldier from 1943, the tool produced a racially diverse group of soldiers in German uniforms, which was historically inaccurate
A number of limitations are included in the upgraded Imagen 3 utility to solve these problems.
It opposes the production of overly graphic, violent, or sexual content as well as photorealistic pictures of identifiable individuals and minors.
Dave Citron, senior director at Google, conceded that Imagen 3 might not always yield flawless outcomes, just like any other generative AI tool.
Google is determined to hear from early adopters and keep improving its services in response to their suggestions.
Google will probably keep enhancing the tool’s features and resolving any issues as it gets more accessible.
