Google has published details about Imagen, its latest research project that aims to improve converting text inputs to photorealistic imagery. Find out more and see the examples on the project’s website.
Is this the end of artists?
I find it fascinating to look at these images.
the end of mediocre artists, yes
I have created a picture, where Biden and Putin sit together in a Jacuzzi-Whirlpool and laugh. Once this tool is production-ready, I will never again trust any image in the news. This thing is… dangerously good!!!
do you have access to this technology or was it using something similar?
Google colab open und das Script start – you must follow the instructions on the homepage, everything is there.
Dear Igor, I can´t reproduce the process you described (can´t find a script). Furthermore google writes on the project page “…our decision not to release our model at this time.”
How do you manage to get your hands on it? A link would help me a lot. Thank you!
Hello Sigmund -you have to dig a bit deeper and follow the instructions, here is how it goes: https://pollinations.ai/p/QmP7sBci47RqHQhK58Fhm2xiKhhkZnYFhrE6LaahxBZ2ko/create
Like others here, i haven’t been able to run this. Despite having the green light in the Collab page, going back to the pollinations page just says “waiting for connection” ,for 5 hours now…
i don’t know what special voodoo is required…
Yes its tricky – it is the price, otherwise everybody would be able to do “stuff” with it. I am lucky I sit here in the University with a very good guy, who knows how to execute it, so I can access this researches trough him (thanks David!).
Here a small example from yesterday: I have tried something more abstract: “No pain, no gain”.

It is ART! Pure art. I could not do such impressive and impressionistic work in 2 minutes. Never! And the whole idea, colors, forms – “no pain no gain” is in!
Crazy.
I have read somewhere that it wont be for a long time available for wide public. It is too dangerous.
The abstract art reminds me..:
