The competition betweenGoogle Geminis Imagen,OpenAIsChatGPT, andMeta AIis fierce.
Workflow
I used each platform’s image generation features in their default configs.
WhileGoogleGemini and OpenAI offer premium services, I stuck with their free tiers for this comparison.
Google Geminis Imagen is integrated within Googles platform andMetaAI delivers images throughInstagram,FacebookandWhatsApp.
OpenAIs ChatGPT, equipped with the DALL-E image generation feature, delivers quick results on its single platform.
The fries had the perfect golden hue, and the truffle seasoning was visually distinct.
The truffle fries were detailed but less realistic compared to Googles and Metas version.
Winner:MetaThis was an incredibly tough call between Google Gemini and Meta AI.
Both excelled with generating a juicy, gourmet burger that made me hungry for lunch.
It was mouthwateringly realistic and the extra cheese helps.
The near-photographic result of both Gemini and Meta AI was impressive.
OpenAIs image has a creative flair, but the burger looked less realistic and almost comical.
Home decor
Prompt:Create an image of a minimalist living room with a large window overlooking the ocean.
Google Gemini Imagen: The design was sleek, with clean lines but minimal lighting.
Is this living room on a boat?
The water, though close, comes off as separate and not directly next to the living room.
Where the ocean lacked in detail, the wall art coupled with the unique coffee table were welcomed touches.
Animal
Prompt:Create an image of a colorful parrot perched on a tree branch.
Google Gemini Imagen: The parrot was highly detailed, with vivid feathers and realistic texture.
The details in the branch added a touch of natural atmosphere without much of a background otherwise.
Meta AI: The coloring on this parrot was more of what I was expecting.
The well-constructed image was stunning right down to the beak and talons.
The leaf in the scene added to the overall aesthetic.
It had a more surreal look with a focus on bright colors over intricate details.
The added touch of the background was nice but, like the extra helping of fries, not requested.
The sunset added warmth, and the cityscape was detailed with soft lighting effects.
The electric charger in the scene was a nice detail emphasizing the electric aspect of the car.
Meta AI: The vehicle design was bold and certainly futuristic.
The bright colors really made this image pop with the refinement of light and shadows to capture the sunset.
The sleek road was almost too perfect giving the image a slightly more conceptual feel rather than photorealism.
So far, these images are the most alike in terms of following the prompt.
Gemini is a close second offering lots of detail and realism.
Landscape
Prompt:Create an image of a serene mountain cabin surrounded by pine trees with mist rolling in.
The background is what makes this image truly stand out.
ChatGPT: The image was ethereal, with the mist exaggerated for a dreamlike effect.
