FYI: if you generate a lot of images the sidebar won't retain all of them and there doesn't seem to be a place where you can view your full history, so be sure to save any images you want to retain. You can still recover images by visiting the link directly in your browser history.

What is Microsofts vision with Bing? It looks like it is slowly transitioning from a search engine to something else.

I think they are banking on generative AI displacing traditional search of all types, maybe opening a few new related doors but mostly displacing large use cases of search. "Better enough than Google to convince users to switch" was always too high a bar to meet but being able to say "How do I take the Riemann middle sum using the points {1/2, 1, 3/2, 2} for f(x)=x^3+2" and getting a response built around your specific question instead of the best generic link talking about Riemann sums is definitely the strongest contender I've seen to finally meeting that bar. Users don't want to find the best page about Riemann sums, they just want an answer to their question.

The challenge will be "does it do that well enough, accurately enough, and keep a good enough lead to establish itself as the leader to beat for the user base".

Nice! Big improvement over DALL-E 2. "ginger tabby cat with ginger eyes, and black cat with green eyes, big wave surfing each on their own surfboard, photographed by a drone" https://imgur.com/uKbkoke

Default image quality/style leaves a bit to be desired, but it's doing a great job of paying attention to the details of the prompt.

Attention! It asks you to login/create an account before you can use it. And you should consider well whether you really want to sign in to a MS account in your browser.

Am I the only one who can't login with his Firefox? Not just for this use case, but as a general issue.

`baby girl playing with a rabbit realistic image` prompt gave `Unsafe image content detected`. anyone else facing the same? looks like the content safety policies are too aggressive. genuinely curious - is it hard for an advanced AI model to differentiate the intention of the prompt and then if it's mature content may be not generate the image?

> is it hard for an advanced AI model to differentiate the intention of the prompt and then if it's mature content may be not generate the image?

Or, better, if the prompt has nothing NSFW in it and the generated image triggers a detector for NSFW content, dump and then regen the image with a new seed. Displaying an error message that is basically “We generated something that we think is objectionable, even though your prompt called for nothing like that, so you get no photo” is an idiotic design.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

They don't actually own 49% of Open AI yet. The deal was $10B for 75% of Open AI's profits until Microsoft recouped this investment. After the investment is recouped, then they have 49% of Open AI. The deal included access to all of Open AI's model.

that seems like an awful deal for OpenAI. Especially since there are so many AI Labs popping up, how exactly are they going to make enough profit to pay back 10 billion?

By building relationships with government officials and media, and using X-risk fearmongering to lobby for regulation that inhibits competition and locks in their dominant position.

I love how the French internationalization of title of that page is “Créer art de mots avec IA” , which is almost at the “ all your base are belong to us ” of level of terrible translation. Given that is probably has been AI-translated, it doesn't really inspire confidence about the AI product on this page if you're a French speaker.

Why would you blame AI translation? Look at how ChatGPT-4 handles a direct translation request: https://chat.openai.com/share/8211a1f6-552b-4bf6-8f9c-bcbeb8... Or how it talks about a set of existing translations: https://chat.openai.com/share/299e40ce-806b-4f0e-a889-cb2ee2... French isn't a language I know very well, but my experience using "AI" to translate Spanish (which I actually do know somewhat) and other lang…

I don't know why you're bringing ChatGPT to the table here, as basically all translation systems in use today are based on deep-learning, most of which even being built on top of transformers (except in an encoder-decoder setup instead of decoder-only like GPT), so they are in fact all “AI translation” (as opposed to human internationalization, which would likely never give such a bad result in 2023 for a language as common as French)

How do people put up with Bing? ChatGPT is much more free with giving fun and crazy answers, meanwhile Bing always complaints that it can't do whatever I'm asking. If I ask the LLM to howl, Bing will complaint and give some boring and long-winded excuse, while ChatGPT will just howl as requested.

Because it cites it's sources probably

I have "Cite sources whenever possible, and include URLs if possible (at the end of the answer, not inline)" in my custom instructions and nearly always get citations from chatGPT.

Seems if you put just about any real person, even notable public figures, it pops up as a violation of the content policy, even though their policy doesn't say that explicitly. Perhaps it falls under "Deception, disinformation, and inauthentic activity" or their vague catchall "We prohibit the use of Image Creator for any other activity that significantly harms other individuals, organizations, or society" I can squi…

If you go historical it doesn't seem to mind: JFK as an alien: https://www.bing.com/images/create/jfk-we-choose-to-go-to-th... JFK and Fidel Castro at a fictional peace conference: https://www.bing.com/images/create/jfk-and-castro-meeting-at...

If you go too historical, it minds again. See: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37651874

Also just tried "Julius Caesar eating a salad" and it's still banned it appears.
