Google's AI Search Bar Now Generates Images and Drafts
Google's AI-powered search feature, SGE (Search Generative Experience), now has the ability to generate images using prompts and allows users to write drafts with customizable output. The image generation feature uses Google's Imagen text-to-image model and is limited to users 18 and older due to concerns about inappropriate content. Google has implemented strict filtering policies to prevent harmful or misleading images and the spread of misinformation. The draft writing feature can produce different types of writing, with options to export to Google Workspace apps. These new features are rolling out to SGE users in the U.S. and will expand to a wider user base in the coming weeks.
