Art in the Bing of an eye

Bing not turning up the art you need? The search engine will soon give you the option to create your own digital art with AI, using OpenAI’s DALL-E 2 machine learning model that everyone is talking about. Also, Designer, the brand-new Microsoft 365 application intended to more easily design invitations and social media posts, integrates DALL-E 2, which in turn serves to build up the application’s stock photos database.

Between DALL-E 2 and other open-source tools such as Stable Diffusion, AI image generators have gone off the charts in the past few years. OpenAI announced in September that more than 1.5 million users were actively creating 2 million images per day using DALL-E 2.
