Microsoft's AI-Powered Bing Experience Gains Image Creation Functionality

[MacRumors]

Microsoft today announced that its AI-enhanced Bing browser now includes Bing Image Creator, image-generating technology powered by OpenAI's DALL-E deep learning model.

DALL-E is designed to generate digital content through natural language descriptions, and it has been a popular image generation tool for some time now. Microsoft says that the Bing Image Creator will bring AI-powered visual stories and updated Knowledge Cards to both Bing and the Microsoft Edge preview that has the same AI capabilities.

Bing Image Creator is integrated into the Bing chat experience, launching in creative mode to begin with. Typing in a description for an image, adding context like location or activity, and providing an art style will allow the Image Creator to generate a unique image.

Microsoft says that it is working with OpenAI to curb potential misuse of the image creator, and that it has implemented safeguards and additional protections to limit the generation of harmful or unsafe images.

Using the Bing Image Creator requires access to the Bing preview or the new Microsoft Edge experience. Not all Bing preview users will have access to the Image Creator right away, as Microsoft says it will be deployed with a phased approach. It will be available on both desktop and the Bing mobile apps for those who have been given access.

Hey Bing, can you draw me a reasonably priced apple product... '' I'm sorry dave but I can't do that because it does not exist ''

I want the Image Creation Functionality of Tim Cook using a Samsung G23 Ultra phone. Is that possible?

!! ... with this awesome power, I shall become God, destroyer of worlds.

Images cannot be harmful or unsafe. Don't censor

Bing, create an image of Siri applying for a new job in Parhrump, NV.

 

[surfzen21]

I have a few artistically challenged friends, and by artistically challenged I mean they have ZERO artistic talent, who really like AI generated art. I guess it has its place for people who cant create.

I however, will never support it.

 

[siddavis]

Maybe it can come up with a new iPhone color. BOOM!

I tried this, exactly as you wrote it. The results... well, have a look. The one in the lower left hand corner in particular, I just can't even.

Maybe it can help MacRumors to create better cover images for some of the stories. That cheap looking blue scubagear-like 3D render of the rumored AR/VR headset is just painful.

That is the best quote

It exists, they failed already.

Is it me or it just looks creepy?

I just searched, "Tim Cook using Samsung Phone". Got similar results 😂. Microsoft Bing thinks Tim Cook is a chef.

Imagine a chatGPT experience with Siri on Apple products. 😌

Wait, is he a priest in that one in the lower right? Is that an ecclesiastical collar? 😀

I've been playing with the new AI powered Bing, and it's pretty awesome.
First time in many years I have wondered if Apple is on thin ice.

Looks like a chef's suit to me.

I just discovered this one. Microsoft AI feels some type of way about Tim Cook. He's over here rocking a turtle neck, Apple Watch Ultra Pro, Apple Glasses.. Say what!!!

 

[antiprotest]

Bing, can you make my selfies less hot because women on apps keep thinking I'm catfishing them?

 

[Macalway]

Sure, there I suppose there ARE a few people ho would ask for images of....well. Yikes.

I think Apple is on thin ice. Most likely they are years away. Microsoft is way ahead of the game. Who knows maybe this is the future!

How do you possibly know how far away Apple may be? Pure guessing with no factual basis to back it up. Just more Apple hate, as I see it. And if this is the future, we are in deep sh*t.

There is no Apple hate. Look at how behind Siri is. Where is Apple's Search Engine Browser?

It was just my personal opinion based on what I think. Nothing else. I'll go ask Siri how far away Apple is.

I'm not much for AI-generated "art", but seeing image-AIs try to generate text will always be my favourite thing

So first part of your comment, the attack, is, I guess, a legit question and we do not know how far away Apple is. But man, they have truly squandered the Siri position they purchased. I mean, can we say Siri is at the level of a "joke" vs. Microsoft, Amazon and Google products? Yes, anyone objective would do so.

So, if Apple has a 40 yard pass play called, that is great. But they do appear many years behind to me.
