Google's Imagen 4 text-to-image model promises 'significantly improved' boring images

Google has unveiled its latest text-to-image models Imagen 4 and Imagen 4 Ultra with the usual promise of "significantly improved text rendering" over the previous version, Imagen 3.

The company also introduced a new deluxe version called Imagen 4 Ultra designed to follow more precise text prompts if you're willing to pay extra. Another prompt read " front of a vintage travel postcard for Kyoto: iconic pagoda under cherry blossoms, snow-capped mountains in distance, clear blue sky, vibrant colors." Plus, following an initial rush of enthusiasm, the public seems to be getting sick of AI art, with the main use case apparently being spammy ads on social media or at the bottom of articles.
