Bing Image Creator vs Dall-E 2: A Comparison of AI Photo Generators
In the world of artificial intelligence, photo generators are making headlines with their almost instant image creation capabilities. OpenAI's Dall-E 2 and Microsoft's Bing Image Creator are two such systems that have garnered attention. In this comparison, we will analyze the two systems in terms of cost, ease of use, and specificity.
When it comes to cost, Bing Image Creator wins hands down. The system is free to use with a Microsoft account, which can be created for free. Users are given 25 boosts daily to speed up image creation, and there are no additional costs associated with creating images. In contrast, Dall-E 2 is not free and requires a minimum payment of $15 for 115 credits. Users who signed up before April 6, 2023, received free credits that expire after a month.
In terms of ease of use, both systems are relatively easy to use. They require users to type a prompt describing the image they want to create. The more specific the prompt, the more accurate the description will be. Both systems generate four images per prompt, allowing users to choose the one they want to download or share.
However, when it comes to specificity, Bing Image Creator performs better. The images generated by Bing are more accurate and resemble photographs rather than paintings, as seen in the comparison of images of a dog making breakfast and a stack of old iPhones ready for the trash. Dall-E 2's images tend to be more literal and resemble paintings, as seen in the comparison of images of a dog making breakfast.
While both systems require specificity, Bing Image Creator is a better choice overall. However, with the competition in the field of AI photo generators, OpenAI may come up with a better option in the future.
