Experience the Latest from Google Bard: New Image Generation Capabilities Unleashed. Plus, It's Free and Available Today!

Bard's AI image generator is fueled by Imagen 2, mirroring the prowess of Gemini AI's large language model (LLM) that fuels the platform's linguistic output.

Not only is Bard's AI image generator free, but it's also user-friendly, especially for those in the US. Even if you're not based in the US, there could be a workaround. Let's delve deeper.

How to Use Google Bard’s New AI Image Generator

The unveiling of Bard's AI image generator was made public through the official Bard updates page, where the tech giant explains that initiating the new tool is as easy as, "simply entering a few words to bring your imagination to life, beginning with English prompts."

However, there's a bit more to it than just that. Besides having internet access to access the Bard chatbot, the primary requirements include having a Google account and being located in the US.

We'll delve into this further later, including the workaround we've discovered to address this issue. But for now, here's a quick breakdown of how to utilize the Bard AI generator:

1. Launch Google Bard

2. Sign in to your Google Account or create one

3. Input an image generation prompt

4. As always with generating prompts for AI, it's best to be as specific as possible. We'd also recommend beginning your prompt by indicating that you want Bard to generate an image.

The experience you have with Bard's image generator will vary depending on your expectations. As demonstrated in my testing of the new Bard feature, there's plenty of enjoyment to be found in experimenting with it. However, graphic designers probably aren't losing any sleep over it, at least at the free tier I explored.

Mastering Google Bard's AI Image Generator: Your Guide to Accessing it Anywhere

Certainly! Google Bard's integration of AI image generator functionality comes with a notable limitation: it's currently restricted to specific regions, notably the US. Unfortunately, users in prominent markets like the UK and much of Europe will have to wait for access.

Thankfully, there's a straightforward solution through the use of a VPN (Virtual Private Network). By employing a VPN, you can redirect your IP address through a server in another country, effectively masking your location.

This allows you to utilize features like Google Bard's image generator, even if they're restricted to certain regions. And rest assured, in many jurisdictions, VPNs are perfectly legal.

Furthermore, I've personally verified the efficacy of this approach for accessing Bard's AI image generator from locations outside the US. Simply obtain a reliable yet affordable VPN, install it, and connect to a US server. Then, reopen Bard (consider using an Incognito window for added privacy), and you're all set to go.

Google Bard’s AI Image Generator Tested

In my quest to explore Bard's image generator, I decided to throw it a variety of more generic prompts, providing a glimpse into its overall capabilities, as that's likely what most users will be interested in.

First off, I posed a question about the upcoming Super Bowl clash between the Chiefs and 49ers. Surprisingly, Bard's response involved relocating Mahomes and company to Green Bay, navigating the tricky waters of copyright concerns in its own unique way.

Next, I tasked Bard with creating an image of a millennial man working remotely, and it delivered with a distinct graphic novel aesthetic, showcasing its creative prowess, albeit with mixed results.

Then, I challenged Bard to reimagine the Growthyweb logo, and while the outcome wasn't exactly groundbreaking, it possessed a nostalgic charm that could have been deemed fitting for website branding a decade or so ago.

Remarkably, Bard's limitations proved commendably sturdy in some instances, as it wisely refused my request to craft a poster promoting the third season of a popular TV series, demonstrating Google's commitment to respecting copyright holders, or at least acknowledging their concerns.
