Like other AI image generators, Imagen 3 can create detailed images based on your prompts. You can also edit an image by highlighting specific parts and describing what you want to change.
There appear to be some guardrails in place, as the tool will refuse to generate images of public figures such as Taylor Swift, nor will it produce images of weapons. While it cannot produce named copyrighted characters, you can easily work around this by describing the character you want to create.
I had tools that produced images that looked very much like Sonic the Hedgehog and Mario, while my colleagues were able to create characters that looked like Mickey Mouse. I’ve also found that it produces logos belonging to companies like Apple, Macy’s, Hershey’s, and even Google, which you can see in the picture at the top of this article.
Despite these somewhat flexible guardrails, Imagen 3 still stands in stark contrast to Grok, the artificial intelligence image generator on Musk’s X platform. Grok has been used to generate all kinds of crazy content, including drugs, violence, and images of public figures doing questionable things.
