How is Bing getting this before full rollout to all GPTPlus users?
Microsoft owning 49% of OpenAI probably helps.
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.
If you use the bing chat interface and say "Can you draw me a picture of X?", then it responds with "I’m sorry, but I’m not able to draw pictures. Is there anything else I can help you with?" followed immediately by "Your image is taking a while to generate. Check your image creation progress at Image Creator." Looks like they might perhaps be using a LLM for the chat responses that isn't aware that it has the abilit…
I've been prompting Bing with "Draw me an image of..." or even just "Image: image description" and it's worked well for me so far.
Don't know if they are more interested in growing the number of users or collecting that sweet data. Probably both.
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.
Sadly the new features on Windows, like forced Onedrive sync, also use similarly bad translations. Phishing emails have nowadays better Finnish than Windows does.
it's still far from perfect though (it struggled with less common words like Kubernetes) but a step in the right direction.

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.
> 2 hr wait > Creating new images can take time > Because you're out of boosts, image generation may take longer than usual. Just how much money is Microsoft burning up by offering all these features? I mean, last time I checked[0] - being this generous didn't really do anything for Bing, did it? Is this "just because we can" or is it genuinely profitable for them? [0]: https://searchengineland.com/new-bing-google-ma…
The really big dogs always work with long term, strategic plans. When something looks too generous, it most likely is just that. Is it profitable? Probably not. But that is the point. Offer a service under market value, wait until the competition goes away, then make bank. There are many, many examples, but something like Google Workspace comes to mind. Make it easy and cheap to get on board, get people and businesse…

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?
