AI ART GENERATORS

🤖 OpenAI quietly launches DALL-E 3 upgrade in Bing Image Creator

OpenAI quietly launched DALL-E 3, the anticipated upgrade to its AI image generator, through Microsoft's Bing Image Creator tool, igniting excitement within digital art circles over its improved functionalities.

• DALL-E 3, now publicly accessible via Bing, is hailed as a significant leap over competitors Midjourney and Stable Diffusion.

• The AI art community had earlier glimpsed DALL-E 3's potential through a tech preview, which outshone other image generators.

• With protective safeguards against malicious use, DALL-E 3 aligns technological advancement with responsible deployment.

The silent unveiling of DALL-E 3 is emblematic of the rapid, yet thoughtful evolution in AI. Its public accessibility, though unexpected, underscores a vibrant AI landscape filled with promise and awaiting further exploration.

AI TOOL OF THE DAY

👀 What to expect from ChatGPT’s new “Vision” features

OpenAI is poised to enrich the capabilities of ChatGPT by integrating the GPT-4V(ision) model, marking a pioneering stride towards multimodal generative AI.

Later in October, this upgrade will empower ChatGPT to process and understand images alongside text, broadening its capabilities (like troubleshooting why your grill won’t start, exploring the contents of your fridge to plan a meal, or analyzing a complex graph for work-related data). A recent article by Wired sheds light on what to anticipate from this groundbreaking fusion. This venture is a significant one, as it brings forth a multimodal generative AI of this magnitude for the first time.

For a sneak peek of what's to come, you can try Bing Chat's existing image analysis features. Although not as precise as the awaited GPT-4V model, it provides a glimpse into the visual capabilities on the horizon. As the realms of text and image synthesis converge in AI, our engagements with machines are set to venture into unexplored domains. Brace yourselves as we inch closer to a new epoch of AI functionalities, right at your fingertips!
