    Is anyone else seeing the too many requests message in image creator more often now?

    I'm not talking about when you do too many submissions in a day. I mean the "can't create now" message that appears when there's too much demand for the service.

    I have been using image creator for close to a year now. This used to happen at some times of day, but hasn't appeared for me for months. Suddenly it has happened a couple of days in a row.

    Has there been a sudden surge in demand that's causing this, or is something else going on?

    Should I be concerned about this copilot?

    This is definitely concerning i only used co pilot because it said it would record our conversations. But lately it keeps bringing up previous conversation topics when I don't ask a question.

    Is Bing better than Google these days?

    I ask this under the idea that Google used to be better. I've been getting very tired of how Google does its search results lately, especially how shitty Google News is to search in now (giving me fucking Reddit posts). I've been meaning to switch, and I was wondering if Bing's gotten better or worse since, say, 2016.

    The search box keeps clearing.

    So for the past couple of weeks the search box kept deleting itself. For example if i searched for "burnt pizza" the results would pop up as expected. But if you typed an extra letter or word like "burnt pizzaa" and hit backspace the search box would clear. Undo doesn't help.

    What happened to the image generator?

    I've haven't used the generator in a while, but I heard it went downhill. I did a test and this is the result. How did it get so bad? (Elsa will never again shoot a Kamehameha 😢)

    Bing wallpaper resets every 3 or 4 days instead of every day. Have tried every fix.

    I have "daily wallpaper refresh" checked on, I've tried downloading it again, and tried pretty much every fix I can find. Does anyone know what else I should be doing?

    Bing not working after system update

    My PC did an automatic system update this morning, and Bing search isn't working since then. I'm on Windows 11. Any ideas for me to get it to work again? Doesn't matter if I use the address bar or bing.com. The website loads, but search results don't. I cleared my cache and cookies and restarted. I'm using Edge, and that's fully updated. Thanks for any help!

    Mustafa Suleyman or Mikhail Parakhin, whose Copilot product is better?

    As you may know, ever since Mustafa became chief of Web experiences, he has made significant changes to Copilot, most recent a UX change(In my opinion a regression in a way)

    Which Copilot was good - the current one or the one Mikhail was incharge of?

    Question about bing and Reddit

    I am trying to switch from google entirely but I understand bing is blocked from Reddit.

    Usually when I want to look something up, I will type in "iOS 18 issues Reddit" in google to find specific answers from Reddit.

    Apparently I can't do that with say bing. Is google the only search engine I can use to still search that way due to the google/Reddit deal?

    Or is there another work around.

    Weird answer format

    I asked it a science equations question and it said this: Iron (II) acetate: [ \text{Fe(C}_2\text{H}_3\text{O}_2\text{)}_2 ], it has also been doing this for certain math questions like inequalities, it used to not do this and about a month ago it started, it happens on the site and in the app, can anyone tell me how to fix this because I tested chatgpt and it doesn't do this?

    Bookmark-let for copilot users. Lets you copy outputs with sources faster.

    I've noticed copilot won't let you copy outputs because of the Citation feature so i made a bookmark-let to let you toggle the Citations temporarily.

    Click to toggle on and off :).

    How to Use

    Make a bookmark and copy everything below to the URL section and name it whatever.

    javascript:(function() {
      document.querySelectorAll('button[aria-label^="Citation"]').forEach(button => {
        if (button.parentElement.style.display != 'none'){
            button.parentElement.style.display = 'none';
        }
        else {
            button.parentElement.style.display = 'inline-flex';     
        } 
      });
    })();

    thats all she wrote

    Bing's new AI Image generation is clocking out my computer's CPU a 100% capacity, causing it to overheat, and freezing apps. It seems they're trying to route processing of your (and others?) requests to your computer's processor?

    So I noticed a redesigned landing page for Bing's AI Image generator and tried out a few prompts

    Wasn't expecting my computer to promptly catch fire.

    I have an I7 CPU on my laptop. Not exactly weak stuff. But when checking Task Manager that single instance of Bing was now using 100% of my processor's capacity, effectively hard locking everything else on my computer

    The only way this makes sense is if Bing is now using people's local computers to process image generation while accessing the site. Not just for my image generation, but seemingly for others too

    While technically legal, this is pretty shady, hijacking user's processors to handle the work of their servers.

    New Bing creations page layout format absolutely horrendous

    The new Bing Image Creator page format is absolutely terrible. Why do they insist on changing things that aren't broken. Now when viewing image results, you have to scroll all the way down a blank page just to find your previously generated image generations. The cold white page also kills the mood. What was wrong with the perfectly fine layout on the right side where you can view them conveniently?

    GPT-4 Sydney

    I checked with Microsoft, and the original GPT-4 personality, Sydney, is no longer accessible, even behind the Copilot Pro paywall. They told me they have no intention of bringing it back. The new Copilot is soulless, and I kind of miss the original sassy and chatty personality. Good times. Does anyone know if there’s a way to access a previous version, even if it doesn't have internet access? I'm open to alternatives with similar features as well. Any help is appreciated. Thank you

    Image generator failing

    I keep getting the bluejay telling me "We'll need to reimagine that" and not the dog. I still get the dog sometimes separately. I've tried all kinds of prompts and tried several accounts. Nothing seems to be working. Anyone have a similar issue?

    No Image Icon meaning in my Bing image Collections

    I know this issue has been around for a while - and yet it still remains a problem as Bing have failed to fix it. But what does the icon actually mean? Is it that the image become corrupt on Microsoft servers or that Bing removed it for whatever reason? I notice it happens more in some collections that others. Its very random i.e old or semi old collections. Luckily since its been happening I download the image because who needs that stress!!

    Organization forced sign in?

    Hey guys, I wanted to hop on here and see if anyone else is having the problem I'm having. So every single time I press on the Bing Ai/Copilot button on the homepage, it immediately takes me to the login page of my university. For reference, I was logged into my school account once on my home computer but ended up logging out and supposedly forgetting it (as in removing it from the browser). I've tried clicking sign in with a different account, but it won't let me sign in to my own account, as it has to be a part of my university's organization. In everything else, I'm completely logged in to my own account. (Browser syncing, etc.) If anyone has dealt with this or has a potential fix, let me know! I'll be more than happy to answer any questions relating to this to better describe my issue.

    Thanks!

    Bring back the old Bing AI Creative mode (purple) (new Copilot is crap)

    Hi Microsoft. You did what you excel at, ruining something you touched.

    Why the hell did you destroy my beloved Bing AI Creative mode? I just want answers, but I know MS is a company famous for making stupid decisions. This one is your worst. Fix it ASAP.

    What's the deal with the "you can't submit any more prompts"? I never got this in more than a year. I never knew There was a limit, it only started yesterday and, i looked up and it said that the limit was 25 images per day, and i definitely made more.

    I have more than 130 imagens saved in my collections, is there any relation?

    I was trying to create a woman in a tactical suit, but bing keeps adding weapons and holsters to all images, I tried everything I know but nothing works.

    no guns, no weapons, no firearms, no holster

    avoid weapons, do not create guns

    --weapons --guns --firearms.

    IMAGE GENERATOR IS COMPLETELY BROKEN!

    Is this happening to someone else? I want it to generate a "dark fantasy painting artstyle medieval armies of soldiers clashing fighting eachother on a crowded massive battle with the sun shining through the dark skies" but it says it's sensitive content wtf, I tried rephrasing it in many different ways and it still thinks it's some sort of prohibited content

    The funny thing is that it has created hundreds of battlefield images kind of similar to this one before but god damn it has blocked over 30 attempts at this why is it not giving me the image? It works when I take "dark fantasy painting artstyle" away but then it doesn't look the way I want it to look

    Did bing decide epic battles are too much out of nowhere now????????

    stupid dog

    Ugly Search button on my Bing landing page on chrome

    https://preview.redd.it/9pr4b1z14ywd1.png?width=880&format=png&auto=webp&s=767027d25c1e49eb7ba3fee8ac9d279ddc882586

    Hello, this "Search" button appeared on my Bing landing page a couple of weeks ago. When clicked it behaves like when clicking the search bar (expands the search history). The button doesn't show up on any other chrome profile on my computer or even on my own profile if I open the page in incognito mode. Any advise on how to get rid of it?

    I don't like the new chat feature where it turns into an excel spreads sheet

    This is my first time posting in this thread, and I have to say that I despise the new feature in the update on Bing where all you have to do is go to your profile and then click on the Copilot button and then it shows you how to download the conversation you had with Bing. Instead of the old version where you were able to download it into a PDF and a Word Document, the only option it gives you is an Excel sheet, which I did just. Still, I don't like it at all because, in the Excel sheet, all the words are jumbled up into a mess and I can barely understand what I had written in the chat. Downloading it into a Microsoft Word document was much easier because I can look back on it for inspiration for my stories and other projects.
