Growing up, did you ever imagine that one day you would be able to easily create any image you can think of by just typing a sentence into your computer or smartphone? But beware: While learning about the power of artificial intelligence (AI) may get you a little excited, it may dampen your desire to put it into practice.
There are many generative AI tools available for creating text and art, but they are not uniform in quality. You can usually spot AI-generated images with a lack of realistic details or an abundance of misshapen features. So, how do you choose a good AI art generator that does its job reliably?

It’s not a bad idea to start your search with two of the most sought-after tools: Bing Image Creator and Doll-e 2. While both are very popular, they are also both easy to use and do not require a dedicated app or program to work.
Microsoft is using OpenAI’s GPT-4, the largest language model currently available for Bing Chat, and is also using the technology behind OpenAI’s AI system, Dall-E 2, for its Image Creator. Used to be. However, Bing Image Creator and Dull-E 2 and not the same tool. We’ll cover how they differ and what they do best.

1. You want a more realistic picture
Both Bing and Dall-E 2 can render images in different styles, such as Paint, 3D render, photo, cartoon, and more. But Bing Image Creator excels at creating realistic images. I find myself reaching for Bing when I want to create an image that looks like a photo.

Bing Image Creator is powered by OpenAI’s Dall-E technology, but it uses a more advanced version of the model used for Dall-E 2, which explains why the images are more realistic than Dall-E 2. more similar.

In the example above, you can see that Bing gives the images a realistic feel, like adding lots of small details to the dog’s coat and the fabric on the cushions. The images on the left look so realistic that they could almost pass for actual photographs of dogs.
2. Draw anywhere you want
When you’re chatting with the new Bing, you can ask the AI chatbot to generate an image that matches a given description and it will generate the image in chat – without having to visit a separate site or open the app of need. On the other hand, you can’t ask ChatGPT to generate an image during a conversation like you can with Bing.

1. You Prefer More Literary Pictures
While I find that Bing Image Creator provides higher quality images overall, the Dull-E2 consistently provides more textual images that follow the prompt word for word.

If you struggle with getting the picture you want with your signals, I’d try the Dall-E 2 as a quick exercise.
