Microsoft Paint jumps on the generative AI bandwagon, with DALL-E taking the fancy-footed horses' reins

An image of a man created by generative AI in Paint Cocreator.

As we first mentioned back in October, Microsoft has been busy leveraging machine learning into all of its software products and now Paint will let you go all Picasso with its generative AI system, Cocreator. Just a handful of clicks and you'll be gazing at some spectacular landscapes, glorious starfields, and anatomically-inaccurate hands and feet.

Unless you've been deliberately hiding under a rock on Mars, you can't have escaped the fact that creating images using generative AI systems like Stable Diffusion and Midjourney are hot topics. Both of those can be surprisingly complex to use but they can also produce astonishing images, though whether it's truly artwork is a matter of fierce debate.
