TECH TIP: CREATE WITH AI

Nice picture? It was created by Bing's AI Image Creator Tool. You will need to log into your Microsoft Account to proceed.


My query was > two senior citizens at the computer "photographic quality"

If you do not add "photographic quality" in quotes, the results skew cartoonish.


Both pictures are pretty good but notice that the hands are a little off - I left it as it presented, so you could see the actual results. But if I was using this otherwise, I would clean up these photos, but it's a good start.


You will get four suggestions, click each picture to save, download, copy, etc.

Need a recipe? You can try either Bing Chat or ChatGPT.

Bing Chat > With the new Bing, you can ask the AI chatbot questions and get detailed, human-like responses with footnotes that link back to the original sources and up-to-date information.  There's nothing to install, just click the Bing Chat Box icon (upper right coner of Edge) and type your query into the search bar and you will get a choice to use Bings' AI Powered co-pilot, click and you may need to enter your query again where prompted.


The chatbot can also help you with your creative desires, such as writing a poem, story or song, and even generating images from text by using Bing's Image Creator within the same platform. Try getting a recipe.

ChatGPT > ChatGPT is a natural language processing tool driven by AI technology that allows you to have human-like conversations and much more with the chatbot. The language model can answer questions and assist you with tasks, such as composing emails, essays, and code.


It's currently open to use to the public for free because ChatGPT is in its research and feedback-collection phase. You will need to set-up an account and then it's pretty straightforward to start using and asking in natural language.


Be forewarned, the results are not always accurate as a lawyer discovered when he submitted arguments to the judge and the citations were invented by ChatGPT.


BTW, there is an iPhone App available too, be aware to use the one with the white logo and NOT the green logo! Legitimate Android version will be available shortly.
