DALL-E – BIG

Microsoft is launching its Image Creator tool to Edge users around the globe. Using the toolset, users will have access to the Dall-E powered tech via the Bing chatbot.

“Image Creator is now available on desktop for Edge users around the world,” confirms Microsoft. Once accessible, Image Creator is to be integrated into Edge’s sidebar. To get started, users must manually add the Image Creator tool to your sidebar. Open the sidebar and click the ‘+’ button and select the tool.

Once complete, Users can then type in what they’d like generated into an image. Bing will then take that request and attempt to match the prompt as accurately as possible. It then creates four high-res images. Once complete, users can download the image or upload it to social media.

Microsoft was first discussing the integration of OpenAI’s DALL-E into Edge and Bing Chat last month. The company claims it is using the “very latest DALL-E models.” In a blog post, Microsoft claims that this tool can become useful in the creation of social posts, PowerPoint images, and additives to documents.

Previously, the Image Creator tool was exclusively available to Bing Chat preview users. However, it is now rolling out to users on a wider scale. As of the time of writing, the Image Creator feature isn’t accessible via Edge on my devices. However, the rollout may be sporadic.

Microsoft’s Bing Chat is getting a visual upgrade courtesy of OpenAI’s DALL-E.

Announced in a blog post, Bing Chat will gain the ability to generate images using DALL-E, a generative image generator built by OpenAI. Microsoft didn’t provide specifics on the version of DALL-E used in Bing Chat, but it did tell TechCrunch that it was using the “very latest DALL-E models.”

Called the ‘Bing Image Creator,’ the feature is rolling out slowly to the Bing Chat preview. Users can access it through Bing Chat’s ‘Creative’ mode and it’ll eventually expand to ‘Balanced’ and ‘Presice’ too, though it’s not clear how these modes will impact image generation (if at all). Plus, Edge browser users will get access to it in the sidebar. Of course, it’s not available for everyone yet, so don’t sweat if you can’t get Bing Chat to generate pictures for you right away.

When you ask Bing to create an image, it will generate four high-res images using DALL-E, though they sport a Bing logo in the bottom corner.

And in an effort to prevent Bing Image Creator from going off the rails like Bing Chat did in the early days, Microsoft preemptively added safeguards:

“We have ensured OpenAI’s safeguards, plus additional protections, have been incorporated into Image Creator. For example, we have put controls in place that aim to limit the generation of harmful or unsafe images. When our system detects that a potentially harmful image could be generated by a prompt, it blocks the prompt and warns the user.”
