Microsoft has announced plans to integrate OpenAI's upcoming Dall-E 3 image creation tool into its Bing search engine, marking another stride in its pursuit to leverage artificial intelligence in competing with major players like Google.
OpenAI previously introduced two iterations of Dall-E, foreshadowing the surge of interest in generative AI witnessed with the release of ChatGPT last year.
Dall-E utilizes machine learning techniques to generate digital images based on natural language descriptions. The upcoming third version, set to be launched in October, will incorporate ChatGPT to enhance user experience.

Microsoft Set to Integrate Dall-E 3 in Bing
Microsoft had previously incorporated a ChatGPT-like generative AI interface into Bing in February, allowing the search engine to offer conversational responses instead of mere web links.
However, Dall-E has not been without its share of controversies. It faced legal challenges from artists who claimed that OpenAI used their work without proper authorization in the development process.
Microsoft released a statement highlighting the enhancements that Dall-E 3 brings to image generation, emphasizing its capacity for more intricate renderings, especially in details like fingers and eyes.
It also touts an improved comprehension of user requests, resulting in more precise image outputs. Additionally, Microsoft Designer will be seamlessly integrated into Bing to facilitate easier editing of creations.
"DALL.E 3 delivers a huge leap forward with more beautiful creations and better renderings for details like fingers and eyes. It also has a better understanding of what you're asking for, which results in delivering more accurate images. We're also integrating Microsoft Designer directly into Bing to make editing your creations even easier," the company said in a blog post.
