Microsoft Paint and DALL-E 3 join forces

Microsoft has been ramping up its implementation of artificial intelligence tools in recent weeks. It recently included Copilot in Windows 10 and then confirmed that AI Copilot will eventually run on the GPT-4 Turbo language model. Now Windows 11 users have been enabled to create works of art generated by the DALL-E 3 AI photo generator in the Microsoft Paint program, without using any external tools.

DALL-E 3 was previously available on Bing, but is now freely available on Windows 11 or the Painter app in the United States, Australia, Canada, France, the United Kingdom, Italy, and Germany. Slovenia is not on the list for now. 

If you are using Windows 11, sooner or later you will find a new “Cocreator” button in Painter. This button opens the DALL-E 3 image generation panel where you can enter your wishes (commands). DALL-E 3 will then generate three images based on your text commands and allow you to paste any of them onto your canvas. You can also choose which art style you want the image to be displayed in.

Currently, clicking on the Cocreator button puts you on a waiting list for access to the DALL-E 3 generator. Once you're granted access, the Cocreator tool will have a yellow 'preview' indicator next to it, so it's clear that the feature Å It is not completely finished. However, the DALL-E 3 commands still work perfectly fine and you can create images without any problems.

Each image generation costs one "credit", and new users receive 50 free credits upon registration. Currently, Microsoft is being secretive about what will happen if a user runs out of credits. When Cocreator is available worldwide, we can expect that users who run out of credits will either be placed in a low-priority queue or asked to purchase more. credits.
