> #graphic_art("my prompt here")
Of course, I'd love for them to take the approach as well that folks are just going to do what they do, and maybe they'll burn out the novelty and give it a rest.
[Edit: The prompt didn't contain "fawn", see the replies]
OP's prompt is below:
> Create a fuzzy phone picture of a cryptid sighting of spongebob as he runs into the bushes. Spongebob has gone completely insane. He turns his head and creepily looks into the camera as he makes his getaway. There's a thick fog and the scene is dimly lit.
it's still far from perfect though (it struggled with less common words like Kubernetes) but a step in the right direction.
Looks like they might perhaps be using a LLM for the chat responses that isn't aware that it has the ability to draw images, and in parallel another model who decides what to draw and show to the user.
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.
I don’t think it’s correct to describe the LLM as “thinking” in this instance, and not even for the normal philosophical objections, but just because I suspect it is a bad heuristic for designing these kinds of prompts.
When you go into a Discord and you are watching hundreds of people use a product in real time, you almost have to try it. When Midjourney first blew up, it was probably one of the most profound moments in marketing of the internet era.
As usual, people will happily give you the worst advice possible. There were people telling them to drop the Discord interface on day one. If they had listened to them, they would have killed off their amazing marketing advantage and stunted their growth.
(They do have a web app and a mobile app that are probably in eternal alpha limbo.)
Don't know if they are more interested in growing the number of users or collecting that sweet data. Probably both.

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.
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:

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 languages is more positive than Google Translate. A few months ago, I did side by side tests translating into English using ChatGPT-4 and Google Translate, and it's not even a contest.
It's not clear where Microsoft is getting these bad translations, but it seems like they would be less terrible if they were translated by ChatGPT-4.
Sadly the new features on Windows, like forced Onedrive sync, also use similarly bad translations. Phishing emails have nowadays better Finnish than Windows does.
> 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?

It feels like this doesn’t work as well with a lot of software services as it does with physical brick and mortar businesses.

It would look pretty bad if it comes out these models are exacerbating climate change...especially after all of old Bill's climate rhetoric and everyone bashing crypto for the last 5+ years about the same thing.
Same as Edge is the thing you install Chrome with.
No amount of marketing or features will take these corpses and get them walking again.
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.
Just saying it's fine if you're having a normal conversation which i imagine is what most people care about one way or the other.
Result (x3): "Unsafe image content detected Your image generations are not displayed because we detected unsafe content in the images based on our content policy. Please try creating again with another prompt."
The 4th attempt gave me this which is actually pretty good https://www.bing.com/images/create/an-anime-girl-making-a-pe...
the restrictions on this are pretty extreme.
Then I tried it with "man" and got 3 images for each try.
Guess at least now we can rank society by how NSFW people are; simply with gender/age, thanks OpenAI.
I'm getting to get it to be more modest, not less!
Bing is desperately adding new features in the hope of finding the "one feature to lure them all", but Bing is not the most effective platform for these generative models.
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?
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.
"ginger tabby cat with ginger eyes, and black cat with green eyes, big wave surfing each on their own surfboard, photographed by a drone"
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.
> You will receive emails about Microsoft Rewards, which include offers about Microsoft and partner products. You will also receive notifications about Bing Image Creator. By continuing, you agree to the Rewards Terms and Image Creator Terms below.
How can this be seen as compliant with GDPR?
I think it works really well with comics generation though, although imitating R. Crumb seems to have triggered its "unsafe" content. I wish we stopped using this term "unsafe" and just judge it by "is it what is being asked".
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".
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.
Midjourney is quite good at that.
I had incredible results asking for architectural drawings earlier. Then a few minutes ago, I broke down and started prompting for supermodels. It did a terrific job the first few times.
But after like three of them getting blocked (I didn't actually ask for anything inappropriate) it starting giving me something that looked like unmitigated Stable Diffusion 1.5.
Lol.
I can squint and see why they wouldn't want my "Cowboy Al Gore rolls coal at a tractor pull" but I don't see how "Joe Bidden inauguration but wearing an orange suit" is going to bring down society. It shot me down for "angela merkel toasting beer glasses" despite her doing that all the time.

Also just tried "Julius Caesar eating a salad" and it's still banned it appears.
And as usual, Bing Chat itself seems to suffer from some significantly higher boundaries around its behavior, which really lobotomizes the chat experience compared to "actual" ChatGPT.
>So it's an underpowered version of what paying ChatGPT folks will get.
There's no indication the cGPT interface will be doing anything different. If you see the demo, it's clearly generating text for each image at the start.
Maybe you will be able to inpaint/outpaint from GPT but that's definitely not been confirmed yet
