> Google Earth on the web now has image generation built in. It went live today, worldwide, for everyone, with no waitlist and no application. > You open Google Earth. You zoom to any coordinates on the planet. You click [create image]. You type what you want to see. The model takes Google’s satellite, aerial and 3D imagery of that exact spot as its starting point and gives you back a photorealistic picture. If it isn’t quite right you refine it. https://www.digitaldigging.org/p/how-to-plant-a-nuclear-plant-in-iran #AI
