We’ve had AI image generators for years now, but they’ve gotten significantly better in recent months. ChatGPT, Gemini, Firefly, Midjourney, and other services now offer high-quality images that are nearly indistinguishable from real photos. Since most AI-generated images lack visible watermarks, the untrained eye might not be able to tell the difference between real photography and AI-generated content.
ChatGPT went viral a few months ago thanks to its new 4o image generation tool. Everyone wanted to try it, and OpenAI saw a big jump in new ChatGPT users. But if you choose Gemini instead of ChatGPT, you’ll get the same spectacular experience. In fact, Google just introduced Imagen 4 and Imagen 4 Ultra, which bring even more powerful image generation features to Gemini.
No sooner had Imagen launched than Soul became the talk of the town. It’s a new model from an AI startup called Higgsfield, and it’s going viral on social media. Like tools from OpenAI and Google, Soul can deliver images that look like real photos taken with a smartphone. But Soul is a “high-aesthetic photo model” designed to replicate the quality of real-life photography.
Soul promises “fashion-grade realism” that might make you “throw away your iPhone,” according to an announcement from Higgsfield on social media.
