Everything that refers to the company is content nowadays, and governing it is a big challenge. When every written or spoken thing is content, marketing, and branding, and keeping track of the script gets scary, who are you gonna call? AI? Sure, Artificial Intelligence can help; also, it cannot. It can understand the language, but that doesn’t make it a writer. A bot can have a decent chat, but that doesn’t make it human.

Google debuts Imagen 2 with text and logo generation

Google’s making the second generation of Imagen, its AI model that can create and edit images given a text prompt, more widely available — at least to Google Cloud customers using Vertex AI who’ve been approved for access.

Compared to the first-gen Imagen, it’s “significantly” improved in terms of image quality, Google claims (the company bizarrely refused to share image samples prior to this morning), and introduces new capabilities, including the ability to render text and logos.
