Microsoft's new AI image generation Paint tool powered by OpenAI's DALL-E text-to-image model is now rolling out to Windows Insiders in Dev and Canary channels.
"With this update, we are excited to introduce Paint Cocreator, a new AI-powered experience powered by DALL-E that helps you create amazing artwork in Paint by describing in a few words what you'd like to create," said Dave Grochocki, Principal Product Manager Lead for Windows Inbox Apps.
"We will be rolling out access slowly at first, so when you get the update, you must first join the waitlist by signing in with your Microsoft account and clicking on the new Cocreator button in the toolbar," Grochocki said.
Microsoft has also included content filtering and various safeguards with Paint Cocreator to automatically block attempts to generate harmful, offensive, or inappropriate images.
The company also began rolling out support for layers and image transparency, starting with Paint version 11.2308.18.0 or higher.
