Cognitive Revolution: Google’s Search Engine Now Creates Images with AI
Google’s Search Generative Experience (SGE): This is a new tool that Google is introducing. It lets you make pictures and write things by simply typing in words. Google is not the only company doing this; Microsoft has a similar tool called Bing Chat that’s been available for a while.
How it works: If you sign up for SGE, you can use it by typing something into Google’s search bar. For example, you can say, “draw a picture of a capybara wearing a chef’s hat and cooking breakfast.” Then, SGE uses special computer programs called AI models to create images based on what you typed. You can even make the instructions more specific if you want.
Getting images from Google Images: When you look at pictures on Google, you might see a box that says you can make images based on your search. The pictures it makes will show up on the side.
Responsibility: Google is being careful about how people use this tool. They don’t want it to make images that go against their rules. So, they are adding labels to show if an image was made by a computer, not a person. Also, they won’t let it make images that look like real faces or famous people. And only adults, people who are 18 or older, can use this tool for now.
Writing drafts: Besides making pictures, you can also use SGE to write things. You type in what you want, and it helps you make a draft, like a first version of an essay or a letter. You can choose if you want it to be long or short and formal or casual. If you like what it makes, you can save it in Google Docs or Gmail.
Improvements: Google has been making SGE better over time, like adding more videos and better links. But not everyone likes it, as some people find it slow, and they prefer searching the old-fashioned way.
In summary, SGE is a tool from Google that lets you make images and write text by typing in words. It’s a cool idea, but they are being careful to make sure people use it responsibly. And they are making it better as they go along.
