This week I tried the AI-generated image tool for the first time… and it did not disappoint!
I chose Bing’s Image Creator for two reasons. One, too many students already wrote their blogs on Dall-E, and second, Bing’s Image Creator is free. Let’s see what the fuss is about with that out of the way. I am going to find out the difference between Image Creator and Google Images, and if one is better than the other.
1st Prompt: a space cowboy running on the moon with a monkey on his shoulder
From Google Images, I got the following.
From Bing’s Image Creator, I got the following.
2nd Prompt: most beautiful place on earth
From Google Images, I got the following.
From Bing’s Image Creator, I got the following.
I think the main difference between these two is the customization from Image Creator. With that tool, I can give more specific prompts and Image Creator will be able to accurately generate the image that I want. On the other hand, for simpler prompts (like the second one), there is a closer similarity with the results from Google Images and Bing’s Image Creator. This made me realize that for general prompts, Google Images is more than enough for anyone to use. At the same time, for anything more specific and unique, one can go the extra mile to use AI-generated images to get the images they want. Regardless, this has been an insightful experience and will help me use the tool better in the future.
