So here is the scoop: Google Gemini plunge the first into the whimsical world of the wire. Yes, you heard. The technology giant AI model can now participate Crochet style visuals Nothing more than a text prompt. Imagine typing “a kitten wearing a mushroom hat” and Boom – your screen flashes with a digital rendering that looks like someone's grandmother spent a week to crochet it. Except that no wire was injured.
This new original feature, Reported by the economic eraBeing part of Google's continuous efforts to flex the creative muscles of Gemini in the generation of images. Reddit and X users (formerly Twitter) have joyfully shared their hook pikachus, their flower pots and their retro toys – each more delicious and strange than the previous one.
Gemini, who now feeds Gemini advanced in the Google IA ecosystem, uses multimodal reasoning – which can give meaning to text, images and other data together. But this hook thing? It's not just a gadget. This shows how finely visual understanding has become. The generation of images with such a texture and such a style requires a deep understanding of the visual context, the artistic shade and the rapid interpretation.
We can wonder – why hook? Why not oil paint or neon graffiti? Well, part of this seems to be the new internet obsession for “comfortable aesthetics”. The hook, with its hand done by hand and its nostalgic texture, fits perfectly into Cottagecore Renaissance This swept the Z generation and the millennial flows. Combine this with the capacity of the AI to spit thousands of variants in a few seconds, and you yourself have a hyperrsonalized Pinterest table on steroids.
It is not Google's first foray into comfortable vibrations. The company has recently expanded its generation of AI images in Bard – now renowned under Gemini – to allow users to sketch ideas, generate storyboards and even reinvent films. What is different now is the stylistic specificity: we do not only generate cats or astronauts; We generate crochet cats and plush astronauts that seem to have been sewn by a magnet of Etsy.
Of course, there are other players in the Image AI – Dall · E 3 and Midjourney of Openai, to name a couple – but the incursion of Gemini in Hyper-Niche aesthetics distinguishes it. You no longer get a bland image scratched by the Subconscious of the AI; You get something with the soul. Or, at least, something that feel As if it was soul.
That said, not everyone is delighted. Textile artists have raised the eyebrows on what it means for handmade arts. If AI can reproduce the aesthetics of hand-woven crafts, does it devalue real human know-how? This is a good question, and which has already emerged, in particular with regard to music generated by AI and Deepfake art. There is a thin line between inspiration and imitation, and AI continues to waltz like a clumsy dancer in bad shoes.
However, there is something magical to look at the technology exploiting the sweeter and more silly side of humanity. While Google advances with Gemini, it is clear that the future of AI is not only to crack data or write code. It is also about doing things feel Beautiful, or warm, or a little weird – exactly as we want.
In other recent developments, Google has announced its intention to integrate Gemini deeper into its workspace applications, which could soon appear in Google, documents or even Gmail slides. Imagine getting an electronic anniversary card with your boss's hook without lifting a finger.
And here is something else: Gemini's last update does not concern images. Google discreetly deploys the features for music, poetry and game design active ingredients generated by Ai-Ai, positioning itself as a full-spectrum creative assistant. As covered by The New York TimesGemini quickly evolve from an AI tool in a creative co -pilot– Siri without studio Ghibli trainee.
So what is the next step? Crochet gifs? Embroidery loops generated by Ai-Ai? Honestly, nothing would surprise me anymore. But here is the botter: we no longer use AI to reproduce reality – we ask him to dream with us. And sometimes these dreams are delivered with vague edges and loop thread.
