Bing Chat can now use Dall-E to make AI art for you

Barely a month after Microsoft unveiled its AI-upgraded Bing Chat feature it’s already rolled out a major upgrade to the tool: it can now make images for you.

Rather than entering a typical query into a search engine, Bing Chat allows you to have a conversation with Bing to find and refine your answers. For example, you can start by asking for a few three-course dinner ideas, then ask it to change the results based on factors like allergens, the ingredients you have in your fridge, and how long the meals will take to make. 

It’s a pretty nifty experience, though Bing Chat’s answers aren’t always 100% accurate. That said, even in this still somewhat inaccurate form it’s been enough to seemingly scare google into rushing out a beta for its similar Bard AI tool

Microsoft wasn’t about to let Google steal the limelight. It's no wonder that the same day Bard goes into beta, Bing Chat adds OpenAI's Dall-E image creation tool, which you can use right now.

How to use Dall-E in Bing Chat 

To use Bing Chat’s new Image creator tool you’ll need to sign up for the free-to-use service and be given access – we have a how-to-sign-up to Bing Chat guide that’ll take you through all the steps.

Once you have access, open up Bing on your phone or PC, sign in to your Microsoft account, and go to Bing Chat. Here you can chat with Bing as usual or by using a command like “Create an image of…” Bing will be able to provide AI-generated images.

Based on the press release Bing’s image creation capabilities look set to be quite varied. It can create a realistic-looking living room or an image of an astronaut walking through a sunflower field. Unfortunately, the new feature hasn’t been rolled out to our devices yet, but it sounds like it’s only a matter of days before we can start making AI pictures in Bing.

Hopefully, it should roll out to you soon too, just keep checking to see if Bing can make images. Make sure you’re using Bing Chat’s “More Creative” setting as that’s where it will be heading first.

Windows Copilot leak suggests deeper assimilation with Windows 11 features

Key Windows 11 features may soon be customizable as Microsoft further integrates its Windows Copilot AI assistant into the operating system. This tidbit comes from tech news site Windows Latest , which claims to have discovered new .json (JavaScript Object Notation) files within recent preview builds of Windows 11. These files apparently hint at future upgrades for the desktop AI assistant. For example, a “TaskManagerService-ai-plugin.json” was found which is supposedly a “plugin for Task Manager integration”. If this ever comes out, it could give users the ability to “monitor or close running apps using” Copilot. In total, six are currently tested and they affect various aspects of Windows 11. Next, there is an “AccessbilityTools-ai-plugin.json” that gives Copilot a way to “control accessibility [tools]. This would make it "easier for those with [a] disability to navigate through the system.” Third is “ai-plugin-WindowsSettings.json” for controlling important Windows 11 set...

Samsung's ViewFinity S9 may be the monitor creatives have been searching for

Originally revealed during CES 2023 , Samsung has finally launched its ViewFinity S9 5K monitor after nine long months of waiting.  According to the announcement, the ViewFinity S9 is the company’s first-ever 5K resolution (5,120 x 2880 pixels) IPS display aimed primarily at creatives. IPS stands for in-plane switching , a form of LED tech offering some of the best color output and viewing angles on the market. This quality is highlighted by the fact that the 27-inch screen supports 99 percent of the DCI-P3 color gamut plus delivers 600 nits of brightness.  Altogether, these deliver great picture quality made vibrant by saturated colors and dark shadows. The cherry on top for the ViewFinity S9 is a Matte Display coating to “drastically [reduce] light reflections.”  As a direct rival to the Apple Studio Display , the monitor is an alternative for creative professionals looking for options. It appears Samsung has done its homework as the ViewFinity S9 addresses some of...
