Without a paper about the architecture or the training setup, these announcements are particularly boring.
I was hoping to see some research development but nothing.

#32The prompt "A shot of a 32-year-old female, up and coming conservationist in a jungle; athletic with short, curly hair and a warm smile" produced an impressive image. But I ran the same prompt 3 times on my laptop in just a few minutes, and got 3 almost-equally impressive images. (using stable diffusion and a free model called devlishphotorealism_sdxl15)

#33Wow, Google has really become the IBM of 2005s. All flashy demos, 'call sales' to try anything.
According to Fiona Cicconi, Google’s chief people officer, Google employed 30,000 managers before the recent layoffs. The hard truth is Google needs a Twitter style culling. Take all those billions you're burning and give it to people with a builder mentality, not career sheeple. Unfortunately the same executives who would oversee this are the ones who need to be culled first.
From what I understand, Google has a unusually large number of engineers who are happy to coast, and would actively avoid taking on anything important. That seems more of an issue to me compared to middle management bloat.

I agree, yours are practically identical in quality.

Meta's one is a really good try. I've used it recently for a lot of stuff. It has way less censorship than DALLE3 via GPT Pro. I did eventually get banned for trying to make too many funny horror pics though.

#39I asked imagen 2 to generate a transparent product icon image, and it generated an actual grey and white square pattern as the background of the image... https://imgur.com/a/KA2yWHp

#40Google became so much of an ad company that they now confuse advertisement with actual product launches.
