Bing Image Creator: this is the new Microsoft tool

“We’ve seen that chat is reinventing the way people search with over 100 million chats to date. People use chat in a variety of ways, from refining answers to complex questions to using it for entertainment or creative inspiration. Today we take the chat experience to the next level by making the new Bing more visual,” Yusuf Mehdi, corporate vice president and director of consumer marketing at Microsoft, said in a post.

Bing Image Creator will be fully integrated into the Bing chat experience and will initially be implemented in Creative mode.

How to use Bing Image Creator?

The tool is available on the Bing search engine, where by typing a description of an image and providing additional context such as location or activity, and choosing an art style, Image Creator will generate an image from your own imagination.

The Bing Image Creator preview will also be available in Microsoft Edge, making it the first browser with an integrated AI-powered image generator. To use Bing Image Creator in Edge, simply click the Bing Image Creator icon in the sidebar to create your image or invoke it from Bing chat in Edge.

“To curb potential misuse of Image Creator, we are working together with our partner OpenAI, who developed DALL∙E, to provide an experience that encourages responsible use of Image Creator. We have made sure that OpenAI security measures, as well as additional protections, have been incorporated into Image Creator,” Mehdi said.

The technology claims that controls have been implemented that aim to limit the generation of harmful or unsafe images. In addition to a system that detects a potentially harmful image, where the generation of the image is blocked and the user is warned about this improper use.

Availability of Bing Image Creator

This tool will start rolling out to Bing preview users on both desktop and mobile starting today, but it will only be available in English. In Microsoft Edge it will also be available from today, in the same way in English.

If users want to try the new Bing preview, they can sign up for the waiting list it has Microsoft.
