Microsoft is working to extend the amount of time artwork made from its Bing Image Creator are saved online, and it may offer integration with its OneDrive cloud file service in the future.

Microsoft's Mikhail Parakhin took to Twitter today to ask Bing Chat users if Microsoft should concentrate on making Bing Chat faster or making DALL-E 3.0 faster for Bing Image Creator

Google has announced that users who have signed into its experimental Search Generative Experience (SGE) can now access an AI-based art creator similar to Microsoft's Bing Image Creator.

Microsoft's new Windows head Mikhail Parakhin stated he is checking into why some Bing Image Creator users are getting content warnings over seemingly tame text prompts in the AI art maker.

Microsoft has confirmed that OpenAI's recently announced DALL-E 3 AI art generator is now available for all users of Bing Image Creator. It's also been added to Bing Chat Enterprise.

The new Swiftkey features include new AI camera lenses, along with a way to use Bing Image Creator to make custom stickers based on your own photos and a new Editor feature for writing.

Mikhail Parakhin, the recently named head of Microsoft's new Windows team, hinted strongly that the just announced DALL-E 3 generative AI art maker is already part of Bing Image Creator.

OpenAI has released DALL-E 3, the newest version of its AI art generator which will be integrated with ChatGPT for better prompt crafting. OpenAI says subscribers will have access as early as October.

Code strings discovered in the latest Microsoft Paint Insider release may point to an AI image generator called Cocreator that may let users type in a prompt to make artwork in the app.

While Microsoft didn't have an official Bing Chat development update this week, the company's team members posted some news on various features that have been tested or revealed this week.

Generative Fill will allow Photoshop owners to extend, add, or remove content from images with its Firefly-based generative AI system. Its the first of Adobe's Creative Cloud apps to use Firefly.

In addition to longer messages in Bing Chat, Microsoft's chatbot can pick up a conversation in the sidebar where you left the chat in the main window, and there are some performance improvements.

Microsoft Edge is also adding a Drop feature to its sidebar for sharing content from one device to another, along with some improvements to its efficiency mode for better laptop battery life.

Microsoft says that when this feature becomes available, Edge users can create art in Bing Image Creator in the sidebar, and then place it in an Outlook email or anything that users can edit

The new version of Bing Chat will roll out in two stages this week. The second stage will hopefully see Microsoft's chatbot cut down on "disengagements" to improve the user experience.

Midjourney will only allow people to access its AI art generator if they pay at least $10 a month, as many of its images have been used to create realistic-looking "deepfake" photos of real people.

Microsoft has fixed some nagging Bing Chat issues, including some improvements with detecting a voice in the Bing mobile app and more, but the ability to save chat histories is still in development.

Currently, Bing Image Creator is playing it on the safe side in terms of generating AI art on certain subjects, including apparently with Bing itself. However, those limits will be relaxed in time.

Bing Image Creator will allow Bing Chat preview users to create images based on prompts to the chatbot AI while it is in Creative mode. Microsoft is also adding Visual Stories and Knowledge Cards 2.0.

Microsoft, at Ignite 2022 today, has announced a whole host of tools and features for creators. These include the new Designer app, Bing Image creator, a new Create website, and Clipchamp for M365.
