This could indeed be a wrapper for something like Dall-E 2. Like the latter, they seem to occasionally force some images to be (what US Americans consider) "diverse", i.e. making figures black even when it makes no sense. The results can be quite disturbing: https://www.bing.com/images/create/princess-peach2c-portrait...
it's fun to try to find flaws in content blocking. interesting datapoints: it will block some sexually suggestive prompts regarding women (a woman swimming in milk) but not for men (a man swimming in milk) changing milk to "almond milk" got the prompt accepted but then blocked before showing image refused any prompt with the word "bikini" (even for "on a statue") or "full body visible" (even if clothed) I got suspend…
I'll still use Stable Diffusion locally though - there's nothing like avoiding the potential walled garden/subscription trap.
I asked Bing Chat why it says it can't create images for me. >The Bing Image Creator feature is a new feature that allows you to create images with your words. It is currently available in the United States, Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom. So just one hour after Google Bard we have yet another senselessly geoblocked feature. edit: Okay, the separate link ( https://www.bing.com/images/create ) works, so I'm…
Laws regulating websites have tradeoffs and this is one of them.
It seems strange to me to put this into a search engine. What is the relationship between these two web apps? I suspect Microsoft is trying to do anything imaginable to drive people to bing search for ad revenue, but this one seems a bit shoehorned.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Is it disturbing though?

If Chrome gets tied with Bard and Edge gets tied with Chatbot, Image Creator, etc. where's that leave Firefox and other "niche" browsers?
I tried this out today and was very impressed by the results. Remember when DALLE came out less than a year ago and people were amazed by the avocado armchair? Between this and Midjourney v5, the quality of AI generated art is rapidly approaching human level and I can see it getting there very soon.
It's a question of what information the image actually encodes. The part that "tells a thousand words" in an illustrative sense, you still have to make.
I'm definitely not a hater of these technologies and I'd actually like to play around with them. I'm more concerned with how these language models seem to be tied to a certain companies' browser and what the implications of this might be.
