💸 Google's new AI Image Generator in Search

Google has launched an AI image generation feature in its search engine. The novel feature lets users craft images from text prompts directly within the search interface.

Like Bing's DALL-E image generation, Google aims to offer a variety of image types but with stringent content filtering to prevent misuse.

As you’re browsing Google Images results, you might see a box that prompts you to generate images based on your query — those generated images will show up in a sidebar.

UPDATE

🤖 Microsoft will pay you $15,000

Microsoft has announced a "bug bounty", offering rewards ranging from $2,000 to $15,000 to people who can identify flaws in its Bing AI products.

The aim is to uncover "jailbreak" prompts that might lead to inappropriate or bigoted responses, ensuring that the AI adheres to the set safety measures.

It's quite intriguing that Microsoft is now asking outsiders to find flaws in its system.

Google will help users in court if there are copyright problems with what their AI creates. Adobe and Microsoft have promised to do the same.

This means these big companies, not the users, will deal with legal issues about the AI outputs. read more
