Multimodal AI Image Generation: A Visual Revolution Begins
Google and OpenAI's recent release of multimodal image generation capabilities marks a revolution in AI image generation. Unlike previous methods that sent text prompts to separate image generation tools, multimodal models directly control the image creation process, building images token by token, much like LLMs generate text. This allows AI to generate more precise and impressive images, and iterate based on user feedback. The article showcases the powerful capabilities of multimodal models through various examples, such as generating infographics, modifying image details, and even creating virtual product advertisements. However, it also highlights challenges, including copyright and ethical concerns, as well as potential misuse like deepfakes. Ultimately, the author believes multimodal AI will profoundly change the landscape of visual creation, and we need to carefully consider how to guide this transformation to ensure its healthy development.
