Google has commenced trials of an innovative digital watermark system designed to identify images produced by artificial intelligence (AI).

Spearheaded by DeepMind, Google’s AI division, the watermarking technology, called SynthID, aims to expose images created by machines and provide a crucial tool in the fight against misleading content.

Google Lens can make your life easier in all sorts of ways. I personally find it both fun and helpful to play with, and it keeps adding new features applicable to our daily lives. One of them has just been announced, letting you identify skin conditions. In fact, you can scan any change in skin, hair, or nails and find relevant results in a jiffy.

Google has introduced some new AI features that are both interesting and useful for people with visual (and other) impairments. One of these features is an “image question and answer” capability in the Lookout app for Android. Basically, this feature lets you “chat” with the app and ask it everything you want to know about a photo you’ve opened.

The AI race is getting more heated, and more participants are joining in. But some seem to be joining forces, too, trying to rule the text-to-image kingdom.

During the 2023 I/O event, Google and Adobe announced a collaboration in this field. From now on, Google’s chatbot Bard will integrate the text-to-image generator Adobe Firefly. This way, users will be allowed to generate, edit and share images straight from Bard’s command line instead of using two tools separately.

Sell your drone and use Google’s new AI to “fly” through a landscape photo

After text-to-image, text-to-video, and AI-generated video in general, is definitely the next big thing. Shortly after introducing its own text-to-video AI, Google introduced another AI-powered video tool -and it’s pretty darn awesome!

Google’s new program InfiniteNature-Zero lets you “fly into” a landscape scene, similar to what we often see in drone landscape videos. But you don’t need a drone – all you need is a single landscape image and AI does all the magic, turning it into a video and giving you a three-dimensional feel.

AI-generated illustrations for “Goodnight Moon” are pure nightmare material

I never perceived Goodnight Moon as creepy. Quite the opposite, actually. However, text-to-image always has some weird ideas, and so does
Joris Bax. He didn’t only use Midjourney’s AI tool to create illustrations for the famous bedtime poem. He also added a super-creepy voice and music to it, turning it into pure, distilled nightmare material. Something like this music video, only even scarier.

This nightmare music video was made from AI-generated images based on the song lyrics

I believe that you’re already familiar with the power of text-to-image AI. Tools like DALL-E and Google’s text-to-image AI turn any random text into illustrations. They try hard to make it as realistic as possible, but more often than not, the resulting images are bizarre.

So, have you ever thought about what happens when you put song lyrics into a tool like this? Jason Scott did. He took lyrics of a song about data encryption (how appropriate), let AI turn them into images and made everything into a video. The result – pure, unrefined nightmare-material that. But if you’re anything like me – you’re going to absolutely love it!

Google’s text-to-image AI will create photorealistic images of anything you can possibly imagine

What’s the strangest thing you can dream up in your mind? Give it a go, the weirder the better. How about a pineapple riding a T Rex wearing blue striped pyjamas and a Viking helmet at a Rodeo?

It would take considerable effort to draw such a thing, let alone make a photograph of it, even with superior Photoshop skills. But Google has just reported that their new text-to-image AI programme, funnily enough, called Imagen, can do just that with a click of a button.
