Microsoft promised its new Bing Image Creator model would deliver better quality. Now, it's rolling back the model after complaints.

Microsoft brings back an older AI model after failing to deliver higher quality AI-generated images more quickly via Bing Image Creator.

Bing Image Creator with DALL-E 3 PR16 has been producing unrealistic looking humans. It also got worse at mimicking artistic styles.

Microsoft is rolling back a model upgrade to its AI-powered Bing Image Creator, reports TechCrunch. The rollback came after weeks of complaints by users that the tool just didn’t work as well after Microsoft “upgraded” to a new version of the DALL-E 3 model on December 18th.

Microsoft recently faced criticism over the release of PR16, the latest version of OpenAI’s DALL-E 3 model, designed to enhance the Bing Image Creator. Released over a week ago, PR16 promised users faster and higher-quality image generation.
