Microsoft has just released an update for Copilot AI, introducing the ability to generate images using GPT-4o. This feature was previously introduced by OpenAI in their ChatGPT platform earlier this year, sparking much excitement and discussion online, particularly over its Ghibli meme capabilities.
According to Microsoft:
We’ve significantly enhanced the image generation capabilities of Copilot by integrating advanced 40 image generation technology. This upgrade enables users to produce images with higher resolution and improved composition. With this improvement, Copilot now performs superior image refinement based on existing images and offers an additional feature that allows you to upload your own images as a starting point, providing you greater control and flexibility over the creative process.
The advanced GPT-4 model from OpenAI introduces a variety of innovative features for image generation within Microsoft Copilot, such as the ability to modify your work, change the aesthetic of an existing image, create lifelike images, produce clear and legible text, and adhere to intricate instructions.
Last month, Microsoft released the image generation feature from OpenAI’s GPT-4 to Microsoft 365 Copilot for enterprises. Now, they are shipping the consumer version of Microsoft Copilot with this capability.
In essence, the Microsoft Copilot surpasses both Microsoft Designer and the Image Creator from Designer in terms of image generation, as these two tools primarily depend on outdated image generation technology from OpenAI, specifically DALL-E.
It’s unclear if Microsoft can capitalize on the excitement surrounding Studio Ghibli now that OpenAI’s GPT-4o image generator has been delivered to Copilot, which could potentially be a sign of Microsoft being disadvantaged even with its substantial partnership with OpenAI worth billions. This illustrates another instance where Microsoft seems to receive less benefit from their collaboration with OpenAI.
Mustafa Suleyman, Microsoft’s AI chief executive, has expressed frustration over OpenAI’s tendency to withhold access to their advanced AI models. This poses a challenge for Microsoft as it strives to incorporate this technology into its various technological systems. In response, Microsoft is working on creating its own internal AI models to ensure continuity and avoid potential issues should something catastrophic occur at OpenAI.
