Google's Gemini AI chatbot has once again pushed the boundaries of artificial intelligence by introducing the ability to generate photorealistic images of people. This groundbreaking feature, powered by the advanced Imagen 3 model, marks a significant step forward in the field of AI-generated imagery.
Enhanced Capabilities and Ethical Considerations
After addressing previous concerns about historically inaccurate and offensive images, Google has reintroduced this feature with improved safeguards. Imagen 3 offers enhanced detail, richer lighting, and fewer distracting artifacts, resulting in more realistic and visually appealing images. Initially introduced in Imagen 3, this image generation capability has now been successfully integrated into the Gemini app, expanding its accessibility to a wider user base.
While the potential applications of this
technology are vast, Google has implemented strict guidelines to prevent
misuse. The tool prohibits the creation of photorealistic images of public
figures, content involving minors, and harmful or offensive content.
Google has also provided an example of a prompt in its blog: "A photorealistic image of a breathtaking mountain vista with jagged peaks and snow-capped summits, bathed in the warm glow of a setting sun. Dramatic clouds, painted in vibrant hues of orange, pink, and purple, streak across the sky, casting long shadows across the rugged landscape." The generated image showcased the impressive capabilities of Imagen 3, demonstrating its ability to create highly detailed and realistic visuals.

A New Era of Creative Possibilities
With Gemini's ability to generate AI-generated people, artists, designers, and content creators can explore new creative avenues. From creating unique characters for storytelling to designing virtual models for fashion, the possibilities are endless.
This new feature will soon be available to Gemini Advanced, Business, and Enterprise users in the upcoming days. While the blog post did not explicitly mention whether the standard version of Gemini will have access to this feature, it's possible that it may be rolled out to a wider audience in the future.
The Future of AI-Generated Imagery
As AI technology continues to advance, we can expect even more impressive and innovative applications. Gemini's ability to generate realistic human images is just one example of the incredible potential of AI in the creative arts.
