Google is rolling out custom screensavers with AI art on Google TV devices: How to add them

Google is rolling out the new features announced for Google TV devices last week. Among them, the most notable feature is the addition of personalized artistic screensavers with artificial intelligence (AI). This feature allows users to turn their home screen into a unique work of art. Additionally, users can also use their images in Google Photographs to turn them into a screensaver. Separately, the Mountain View-based tech giant is also adding a new home panel that will act as a centralized smart home hub.

Google TV gets AI screensavers

A new support page for Google TV has gone up, detailing the new feature. Screensavers appear when a smart TV has been idle for quite some time and starts displaying wallpapers instead of the home screen. They are usually stock images and generic in nature. However, the new AI feature offers users a way to flaunt unique art in this space.

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

If AI images are not something the user prefers, they can also add their favorite images from Google Photographs. However, to use this feature, the user must sign in to their Google account. Specifically, users cannot choose individual images and will have to choose one or more albums to display as a screensaver.
