Benefits of AI-generated images

AI generated images have some advantages over regular images, especially when it comes to copyright and attribution. AI generated images are:

  • Original and unique: AI generated images are not copies of existing images, but rather new creations based on the input and the algorithm. This means that they are less likely to infringe on the rights of other image owners or creators, and more likely to reflect your own vision and style.
  • Customizable and flexible: AI generated images can be easily modified and adapted to your specific needs and preferences. You can change the prompt, the model, the style, the resolution, and other parameters to get the desired result. You can also combine different AI generated images to create new compositions or collages.
  • Free and legal: AI generated images are generally free to use for any legal purpose, as long as you follow the terms and conditions of the AI image generator platform. You do not need to pay any fees or royalties, or obtain any licenses or permissions from the image source or creator. You also do not need to provide any attribution or credit to the AI image generator platform, unless you want to.

Limitations of AI-generated images

  • Quality and realism: AI generated images are not always realistic or accurate, especially when the input is complex, vague, or contradictory. AI generated images may contain artifacts, distortions, or inconsistencies that make them look unnatural or fake. AI generated images may also fail to capture the emotions, expressions, or nuances of human faces or other subjects.
  • Ethics and responsibility: AI generated images may raise ethical and social issues, such as privacy, consent, manipulation, deception, or bias. AI generated images may be used to create fake or misleading content, such as deepfakes, hoaxes, or propaganda. AI generated images may also reflect the biases or prejudices of the data or the algorithm, such as racism, sexism, or stereotyping.
  • Originality and creativity: AI generated images may challenge the notions of originality and creativity, as they are not produced by human authors or artists, but rather by machines or algorithms. AI generated images may also affect the value and appreciation of human-generated images, as they may be seen as less authentic, unique, or artistic.

Therefore, when using AI generated images, you should be aware of the benefits and risks, and use them responsibly and ethically. You should also respect the rights and interests of other image owners or creators, and acknowledge the sources and influences of your AI generated images. AI generated images are not a substitute for human-generated images, but rather a complement and a tool for enhancing your creativity and expression.

Using Bing Chat to Generate Images

  1. Go to bing.com/chat in a web browser.

  4. Wait for a few seconds and see the generated image. You can click on the image to download it, or type “try again” to generate a new image with the same prompt. You can also type “change settings” to change the model, style, or resolution of the image.
  5. Have fun and be creative! You can generate as many images as you want, and share them with your friends or use them for your projects.
