Made by Microsoft's partner OpenAI, who also made the ChatGPT chatbot, this new feature allows users to create images that don't yet exist.

Microsoft is adding the artificial intelligence (AI) art generator DALL-E to its Bing search engine and Microsoft Edge browser: Just write in the search bar what image you want, and DALL-E will make it for you.

The feature is now publically available to anyone using the latest versions of Bing and Microsoft Edge.

Made by Microsoft's partner OpenAI, who also made the ChatGPT chatbot, this new feature allows users to create images that don't yet exist, according to a Microsoft blog post by Roger Capriotti.

In order to get it to work, one simply needs to enable the Image Creator in the Microsoft Edge sidebar.

"By typing in a description of an image, providing additional contexts like location or activity, and choosing an art style, Image Creator will generate an image from your own imagination," Microsoft corporate vice president and consumer chief marketing officer Yusuf Mehdi said in a blog post.

For those who can't access the Bing or Microsoft Edge image creators, a preview version is available here: https://www.bing.com/create
