Google Bard Gains Images

As Google announced a week or so ago, Bard now can show images in the responses. Jack Krawczyk said on Twitter that you can “click an image to see the source for each one,” and that “Bard includes images in relevant responses and also when you specifically ask for them, starting with English.”

Google Bard can now bring in images from Google Search and you can also ask Bard for images directly. Plus, Google Bard will show a source for each image.

I tried it myself and the first two requests were pretty solid. Well, okay, it lied, I am not thin, nor am I tall, but I’ll take it. But then when I asked it to merge the two of us, it didn’t work too well (not that I expected that to work):

It shows local results also:

It will get better over time, but it is nice to see these chat features from Google and Bing get more visual.
