Google introduces custom AI Art screensavers on Google TV devices

Google is rolling out the new features announced last week for Google TV devices. Its standout feature includes the addition of custom artificial intelligence (AI) art screensavers. This feature allows users to turn their inactive screen into a unique work of art. Moreover, users can also use their images on Google Photos to turn them into a screensaver. In addition, the Mountain View-based tech giant is also adding a new home panel that will act as the centralized smart home hub.

Google TV gets AI screensavers

A new one support page for Google TV has risen, detailing the new feature. Screensavers appear when a smart TV has not been used for a while and wallpapers are displayed instead of the home screen. These are usually stock photos and generic in nature. However, the new AI feature gives users a way to show off unique art in this space.

There are three ways a user can add a custom AI art screensaver. The first is typing a prompt that describes the art users want to see. Another way is to use the provided set templates and select them to generate AI art. The third method involves using the “Inspire Me” option. This option allows the AI ​​to generate a random art that users can save as a screensaver.

If AI images are not something the user prefers, they can also add their favorite photos from Google Photos. However, to use this feature, the user must be logged into their Google account. Notably, users cannot choose individual images and will have to choose one or more albums to present as a screensaver.
