Microsoft Paint gets an AI upgrade
Tuesday, May 28, 2024 at 8:47PM Microsoft Paint is getting a major upgrade that injects a dose of cutting-edge technology. Unveiled at the recent Surface event, Paint now boasts a new AI image generation tool as part of its Cocreator (Microsoft's AI-powered creative suite).
This isn't your average AI art generator. While it can create images based on text prompts like many others, it takes things a step further. It allows users to combine their own doodles with text descriptions, enabling a unique level of creative control. Imagine sketching a basic shape and then having AI refine it into a detailed illustration—all within the familiar Paint interface. This iterative process, powered by advanced diffusion-based algorithms, fosters a collaborative feel between artist and machine.
