The tech field has seen a massive change this year, especially after the arrival of OpenAI’s ChatGPT. The chatbot created lots of hype on the social media site.
After the quick success of ChatGPT, Microsoft launched its all new AI Powered Bing Search. Google also launched a ChatGPT competitor known as Google Bard to stay in the AI space. Along with it, Google also unveiled SGE (Search Generative Experience).
The SGE or Generative AI in Google Search is supposed to supercharge your search to find what you’re looking for in faster, easier ways. The feature basically gives you AI Powered overviews right on the search results.
While the Search Generative Experience is not new, recently, it got a new update that lets users convert text into realistic images. Yes, you read that right! You can now generate image from text right on the Google search.
