Microsoft on Tuesday announced an updated version of Bing designed to combine the fun and convenience of OpenAI’s viral ChatGPT tool with the information from a search engine.īeyond providing a list of relevant links like traditional search engines, the new Bing also creates written summaries of the search results, chats with users to answer additional questions about their query and can write emails or other compositions based on the results. Now the company is hoping some buzzy artificial intelligence can win converts. Microsoft calls it your “creative copilot,” offering examples such as “creating a visual for a newsletter” or gaining “inspiration for redecorating your living room.Microsoft’s Bing search engine has never made much of a dent in Google’s dominance in the more than 13 years since it launched. There’s even the ability to choose from one of the art styles. Using prompts like “draw an image” or “create an image,” as well as descriptions and contextual information like location or activity, Bing Chat will now produce a series of images that match your prompts. With Image Creator, Microsoft is integrating image creation right into Bing Chat itself. This isn’t dissimilar, though, to how Bing Chat was announced, which had been running on GPT-4 before the new model had even been announced. Microsoft says it’s using “an advanced” version of DALL-E, though the company didn’t provide specifics about how it was different than the current DALL-E 2 model. Just a month since it launched the ChatGPT-based Bing Chat, the company is now introducing Bing Image Creator, which brings text-to-image generation right to your browser.īing Image Creator lets you create images from text using DALL-E, which is OpenAI’s own text-to-image AI model. Microsoft isn’t slowing down its momentum in generative AI.
