Last month we introduced the new AI-powered Bing and Microsoft Edge, your copilot for the web – delivering better search, complete answers, a new chat experience and the ability to create content. Already, we have seen that chat is reinventing how people search with more than 100 million chats to date. We’ve seen people use chat in a variety of ways, from refining answers to complex questions to using it as a form of entertainment or for creative inspiration. Today we’re taking the chat experience to the next level by making the new Bing more visual.
We’re excited to announce we are bringing Bing Image Creator, new AI-powered visual Stories and updated Knowledge Cards to the new Bing and Edge preview. Powered by an advanced version of the DALL∙E model from our partners at OpenAI, Bing Image Creator allows you to create an image simply by using your own words to describe the picture you want to see. Now you can generate both written and visual content in one place, from within chat.
For those in the Bing preview, Bing Image Creator will be fully integrated into the Bing chat experience, rolling out initially in Creative mode. By typing in a description of an image, providing additional context like location or activity, and choosing an art style, Image Creator will generate an image from your own imagination. It’s like your creative copilot. Just type something like “draw an image” or “create an image” as a prompt in chat to get creating a visual for a newsletter to friends or as inspiration for redecorating your living room.
We take our commitment to responsible AI seriously. To learn more about our approach to responsible AI, please visit here.
We have put controls in place to prevent the generation of harmful images. When our system detects that a potentially harmful image could be generated by a prompt, it automatically blocks the prompt and informs the user.
We also make it clear that Image Creator’s images are generated by AI. A watermark appears in the bottom left corner of each image created using Image Creator. We have implemented content credentials, provenance based on the C2PA standard, to help users to identify AI generated Images. We allow living artists, celebrities, and organisations to make requests to limit the creation of images associated with their names and brands via the AI-powered features option on our Report a Concern form.
Prompt:
Create a 3D illustration of an animated character sitting casually on top of a social media logo “name social media”.
The character must wear casual modern clothing such as jeans jacket and sneakers shoes. The background of the image is a social media profile page with a user name
“name” and a profile picture that match.
