Just how many AI image generators does the world need? At least one more, Google thinks. It's just launched ImageFX (not to be confused with our sister publication, the bestselling digital art magazine ImagineFX), and it's the tech giant's first dedicated text-to-image tool that the general public can use.

Google reckons ImageFX is different thanks to its “expressive chips". That sounds elaborate, but it's basically a function that provides suggestions that you can use to modify your text prompt. These come in the form of dropdown lists and, according to Google, allow users to "quickly experiment with adjacent dimensions of your creation and ideas."
