    How to use Google Search’s new Dall-E-like AI image generator

    The Indian Express, 10/14/23. Google has introduced a new feature called the Search Generative Experience (SGE) tool, which allows users to create images from text prompts. This feature, available to users in Google’s Search Labs program, utilizes AI models from the Imagen family to generate images based on user queries. Similar to Microsoft’s Bing Image Creator, which also uses AI models to create images, Google’s SGE has safeguards in place to prevent the generation of harmful or inappropriate content. The tool also includes metadata labeling and watermarking to indicate that the images were created by AI. Additionally, SGE now has the ability to generate written drafts from text prompts.

    AI tools make things up a lot, and that’s a huge problem

    CNN, 08/29/23. The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) has brought us AI-powered tools like ChatGPT, which can provide human-like responses to various prompts. However, a major issue that needs to be addressed is the tendency of AI models to generate inaccurate or made-up information, known as “hallucinations” or “confabulations.” While this can be compared to a young child telling imaginative stories, it poses risks when people rely on AI tools for important tasks like legal research or health inquiries. Solving AI hallucinations is a challenging task due to the complexity of the models, but companies are working on solutions. READ THE ARTICLE
