Since its launch in Q1 of 2023, Google Gemini (formerly Google Bard) has been the biggest and the most successful competition to OpenAI's ChatGPT. Google Gemini is the go-to AI chatbot for people needing a chatbot for actual research purposes, as it is backed by Google's vast library of knowledge and intelligence. ChatGPT and Bard have been neck and neck for the most part. After OpenAI integrated Dall-E with ChatGPT Pro, Google gave Gemini a new update, allowing it to generate AI images directly from the chatbox. 💬
Google Gemini's AI image generation has been taken for granted, and it is still an underrated feature that deserves more attention. So, I decided to show you how good Gemini's AI image generation capabilities are, but first, here are two things you need to know. 💭
- Firstly, the feature is free and doesn't require any monthly subscription to access, like the AI image generation feature on ChatGPT.
- Secondly, as ChatGPT relies on Dall-E's AI model, Gemini's image-generating feature is built on the Imagen 2 AI model powered by Google DeepMind's text-to-image advancements.
Now, it's time to see how good Gemini's AI image-generation capabilities are; you may have seen the happy rabbit video to which Joe Rogan reacted to call, "ChatGPT Craeted an Image of God with a Bunny." So, I did something similar but with a llama: 🦙
First, I entered a simple prompt stating, "Generate an image of an adorable llama."
Then I asked Gemini to make it happier.
Then, I asked Gemini to make it even happier.
Once again, I asked, even happier.
Then, to make things more interesting, I asked Gemini to generate an image of the happiest llama in the solar system.
What next? Obviously, we will go beyond the solar system and generate an image of the happiest llama in the Milky Way Galaxy.
We will go one step further and make it the happiest llama in the universe.
This llama might just be happier than you and everyone you may know. Jokes apart, whatever ChatGPT can do, Google Gemini can do, and maybe even better than ChatGPT for no extra cost. At the end of the day, it is your preference. You can choose either or depending on your preferred style.
