As the use of different artificial intelligence (AI) has exploded over the past year, we’ve seen the development of generative AI in unlikely places. The release of OpenAI’s ChatGPT in fall of 2022 quickly led to companies like Google, Microsoft, and Meta creating their own AI chatbots with Bard, Bing Chat (aka Copilot), and Meta AI. Microsoft also released an AI image generator in Bing that is powered by DALL-E 3, the latest of OpenAI’s visual projects. Microsoft was using a previous version of DALL-E until DALL-E 3 was incorporated, featuring improved image quality, more accurate prompt processing, and enhanced details within images. Now, the tool has been renamed Image Creator from Microsoft Designer.
The Image Creator from Designer is accessible through Copilot or directly on the tool’s website, and is as easy to use as giving an AI chatbot a prompt. To use the Image Creator, access to Bing.com is required; an OpenAI account is not necessary. The tool can be accessed via Copilot in the new Bing, or by going to Bing.com/Create. Once on the website, simply enter a description of the image you want to prompt the Image Creator to generate. The more specific the prompt is, the better the result will be. Once the prompt is entered, click on “Create” to generate the images. After the images are generated, the results can be viewed, and the user can choose to download, share, or save the images. Customization options are also available for the images. Despite the free nature of AI image generators, it is important to recognize that the copyright rules are still developing.
