_Aurora_ has demonstrated the ability to produce realistic images, although with noticeable flaws in human anatomy and continuity, as seen in AI-generated images of Ray Romano and Adam Sandler shared by an X user. The model's lack of restrictions aligns with previous experiences with Grok's other image generators. Aurora's release was announced by X employee Chris Park, and it has been available since this morning.
Key takeaways:
- X has introduced a new AI image generator model called "Aurora" that produces highly photorealistic images.
- Aurora is available in the "Grok 2 + Aurora beta" option, but usage is limited before hitting the X Premium subscription paywall.
- The model can generate images of copyrighted characters and public figures but avoids creating nude imagery.
- While Aurora's images are realistic, they sometimes exhibit noticeable issues with human anatomy and continuity.
