Google DeepMind has introduced an AI tool called Genie 4. It makes imaginary scenes with pictures and sound. A person can use a keyboard and write instructions to change a scene.

The company says a small group of trusted testers can try a research preview. The tool is not available to everyone yet. Google also says details in a scene can change by mistake over time.
