After hearing so much about it in AI news I recently decided to try out Google's Gemini AI image generator and what better way to do so than have Gemini itself give me a demonstration of how it can create images. I can’t afford to attend one of Google’s big events so instead I gave Google Gemini the prompt - “Write an article from the perspective of a Google representative demonstrating Gemini’s AI art generators full potential. Be sure to generate images that illustrate your points.” Below are the results:

My Thoughts
And there you have it. Sounds impressive but I decided to test some of Gemini's AI image generation capabilities for myself. The first thing I asked was for Gemini to generate images that would best encompasses the essence of this article in a 850 pixel x 550 pixel size. As you can see from the results below it's generative AI only outputs one size, a square 1536 x 1536 pixel image. Although the images it generated were of decent quality they didn't really fit the theme of the article very well.
I then tried to create more images of other subjects asking Gemini to generate images of people and this is the response I received:
"We are working to improve Gemini's ability to generate images of people. We expect this feature to return soon and will notify you in release updates when it does."
I will patiently await the improved version...
Conclusion
Having the capability of generating images in Large Language models is exciting. Yes I would love to see different sizes be made available and the failed attempt at image generation of people is a bit disappointing but I image these things will just take more time. Gemini's image generation feature is great for writing articles, social media posts and internal business presentations that need an instant copyright-free bit of flare. Overall the Google Gemini generative AI model is an amazing feature to have built-in to AI assistants and I am looking forward to future iterations.
