Google AI news
Google’s large language model (LLM) chatbot, Bard, can now show you pictures from Google Search for responses to your questions. You can even ask Bard to show you a picture directly. Every picture will have a source mentioned, like the video below.
I used Bard to ask for visual examples of fractal images, then five image prompts for those fractals. I also asked for several examples of paintings by famous artists. You can see the link for each image result in the video below:
Try Bard here.
Google also launched a new feature called Search Labs, where you can try out early versions of AI experiments. You can join by clicking the Labs icon on your computer's Google app or Chrome browser or sign up on the waitlist here.
