Like other AI image generators, Imagen 3 can create detailed images based on your prompt. You can also edit the image by highlighting a certain part and describing what you want to change.
There appear to be some safety barriers, as the tool will refuse to generate images of public figures, such as Taylor Swift, and will not produce images of weapons. And while it will not generate copyrighted characters, you can get around that fairly easily by describing the character you want to create.
I got the tool to generate images that look a lot like Sonic the Hedgehog and Mario, while my colleague managed to create characters that resemble Mickey Mouse. I also found that it will generate logos belonging to companies like Apple, Macy’s, Hershey’s, and even Google, which you can see in the image at the top of this article.
Despite these rather lax protections, Imagen 3 still stands in stark contrast to Grok, the AI image generator that lives on Elon Musk’s Platform X. Grok has been used to generate all sorts of wild content, including images featuring drugs, violence, and public figures doing questionable things.
