Microsoft has begun rolling out Image Creator from Microsoft Bing in a preview to select markets, preparing the AI art generator for a wider rollout to Microsoft Edge later this month. In a blog post and related video, the company showed off how Image Creator will work and explained in more detail what limitations it will place upon prompts that users generate.

Microsoft said last week that it would be bringing AI art to both Bing and Edge, using the more advanced DALL-E 2 algorithm to generate the art. It appears that Image Creator will be accessible from Bing.com and a related version will be available from Edge soon after. The company showed off Image Creator working within the Edge sidebar, which can carve out a small vertical column to display search results and other information as well as some useful utilities. It’s here that you’ll be able to access the new image creator.

In a video, Microsoft showed off how users could generate a prompt, using conventional terms like art styles. In the video below, you can see Image Creator return four small results in a matter of just a few seconds. It’s not clear whether that will be representative of general performance. It’s also not clear whether there will be some sort of a credit system or other meter to limit prompt generation.
