Elon Musk's social network X, formerly Twitter, has introduced a new image generator named Aurora to its Grok assistant. Aurora, accessible via X's mobile apps and web, can generate images of public and copyrighted figures with few restrictions, though it avoids explicit content. The origins of Aurora are unclear, but it excels at photorealistic images despite some flaws. This release follows X's decision to make Grok free for all users, allowing limited free access to its features. Meanwhile, xAI, Musk's AI startup, has secured $6 billion in funding and is developing a standalone app for Grok.

Google has integrated its Imagen 3 AI model into Google Docs, allowing paid Workspace and Google One AI Premium users to generate custom inline images directly within their documents. This feature expands on previous capabilities that only supported full-bleed cover images. Users can create photorealistic images using text prompts and select from different styles and aspect ratios. However, this functionality is not available to free users and is currently rolling out to eligible subscribers.

Two Malaysian artists, Zila Abka and Amirul Shah, are both claiming credit for a viral AI-generated image of Gaza, highlighting the complexities of authorship and ownership in AI-created content. Abka, a science teacher and AI art hobbyist, says she created the image in February using Microsoft's Image Creator, while Shah, a college student and photographer, claims he generated a similar image independently. The dispute underscores the challenges of verifying originality and ownership in the realm of AI-generated art.
