Microsoft releases its artificial intelligence tool for everyone

This Thursday May 4th, Microsoft released his free tool artificial intelligence, Bing, which is capable of generating texts and images. This was launched three months ago, but it was only accessible by invitation or by waiting list.

“We’ve come a long way since Bing and Edge launched 90 days ago. And we think now is an important time to get more feedback and reactions.” said the corporate vice president of Microsoft, Yusuf Mehdi, in dialogue with EFE.

“We can make the product better, and we can make it available and help people more broadly.. That’s why we’re moving from limited preview to open preview”, he explained.

That tool, which can only be accessed by the Microsoft Edge browser, combines the GPT-4 and DALL-E 2 technology from Open AI with the Microsoft search results index.

Unlike its first prototype, announced in February and to which only a select few had access, this Bing that the company launched is capable of answering user questions with text, photos, images, and graphics.

As well as you can translate users text into images. On this last case, Bing can respond to a request with four different proposals in a matter of seconds.

This feature will be usable in over a hundred languages ​​and all images that are generated have a Bing watermark at the bottom.

One change is that Bing can now answer 20 questions in the same “conversation”, as Microsoft had cut the answers to six, because some users received disturbing answers in longer chats.

In this new version, users will be able to access the history of their conversations and share the responses they have obtained.

In the first 90 days of public life of this tool, Bing participated in more than 500 million chats and Bing Image Creator generated more than 200 million images.

“In total, Bing has grown to over 100 million daily active users and daily installs of the Bing mobile app have quadrupled since its launch.”, the company said in a statement.
