Microsoft Bing AI Image Creator

Try them all. They all have strengths and weaknesses. I use all of them for different things (and often run a prompt across several to decide)

Stable Diffusion is the only one you can host yourself or even run locally on desktop & mobile if your hardware allows. You can train your own styles and concepts using Dreambooth method (aka fine-tuning on a very small dataset) for 1.x models, or use textual inversion / LoRA / embeddings for 2.x models. SD2 is much more difficult to fine-tune so folks have been using these alternative methods. Embeddings can represent a specific style and are easier to compose. They are storage-efficient as well (<= 1 MB if I remember correctly).

DALL-E is good for surreal memes or some kinds of art. It works well for outpainting. For other use-cases it falls behind on realism and flexibility.

Midjourney has come a long way and generates very aesthetically pleasing images. But it's very opinionated to allow for ease of use for new users. And it can get expensive if you need to generate many images.

First line of FAQ says Image Creator is Dall-E.

For the outputs, go to each one's community showcase page, or their respective discords, or their subreddits which amount to image post feeds.

You'll find, roughly, Dall-E images feel clunky, Stable Diffusion are differentiated, and Midjourney are simultaneously aesthetic and yet recognizably the same.

- If you want a sketch of a thing you're thinking of, go with Dall-E.

- If you want to mess around, and play with other people's models, Stable Diffusion.

- If you want to role play being good at DeviantArt, MidJourney.

Quite often, actual artist workflows use two of the three, for instance, start in MidJourney, then outpaint with Dall-E, or start with Dall-E, then img2img with SD.

What would be causing this? Are they licensing something regionally… like Netflix?

Does it work for anyone? Even with a VPN it shows me the same message.

Regular people and their kids do not need uncensored content. In fact, an errant boob is the opposite thing these companies want to popup for the general public.

They licensed GPT3 exclusively

I'd assume they are. IIRC they are giving free compute to the project, and those models cost an absolute fortune to train.

This isn't Stable Diffusion. It's closer to Karlo/Dall-E from my brief tests.

EDIT - it's handling some Imagen prompts better than Dall-E. This is interesting.

Pragmatically, OpenAI was a mechanism for Microsoft to try risky things with AI without incurring the liability and reputational risk of doing it themselves. They became very conservative after Tay.

What prompts have you tried? I'm testing out the very challenging Imagen example prompts: https://imagen.research.google/

So far it's doing better than Dall-E/Karlo and a lot better than Stable Diffusion.

"our most searched term is Comet"

did google invent the diffusion or this bing does not use it?

Same for German, totally wrong grammar, so (hopefully?) auto-translated.
