    Is bing supposed to be able to give you points even when signed out?

    Whenever I’m signed out of my account I still see my recent points and I’m still able to earn more points when I’m signed out.

    Is that supposed to be able to work?

    PR13 rollback won’t happen

    There is no reason for Microsoft to roll back to PR13 for everyone and for free. They created Microsoft Designer to convert free users into premium users, and Bing Image Creator is just the bone they throw at you to make you pay later once you realize how bad the PR16 model is. Sorry for anyone that has to hear this and still had hopes. 😕

    This is not a realistic photograph. What's going on with bing?

    Seems like no matter what I feed it for artstyle, it outputs cartoony stuff. Never used to do that. Anyone know why?

    Will Bing Maps also rename Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America like Google Maps?

    I've only heard news about Google Maps, but none of the articles have mentioned if Microsoft plans to do the same with Bing Maps. Anyone know?

    Making the new Copilot app to startup with Windows

    Hello!

    Copilot app is getting better, and with the Alt+Space pop up and the quick launch, i'm finding myself using it more than any other LLM. That said, in classis Microsoft fashion, there isn't an option to make it startup on Windows so you have to manually launch it on restart for Alt+Space to work.

    Add a shortcut of CopilotNative.exe to C:\Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup.

    You can get the CopilotNative.exe location from task manager but it should be somewhere here: C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.Copilot_1.2XXX...

    Reminder: You can still change between Art Styles(Pixel, Watercolor,Block print, etc) within your "Collections"

    If you added any of your images to a "Collection" WITHIN the old Copilot UI, you can still change the art style of those images. I added over 10,000 of my generated images to different "Collections" and can still access them now.

    Serious question: Is Microsoft created just to torture us?

    For the past thirty years, Microsoft brings out excellent products, then makes you watch while it slowly destroys it. It seems to feed on our suffering.

    How is it possible they got ahead of everyone with Sydney, and then just sat there, slowly shitting itself for months on end, until if you even mention Copilot in polite AI company, they look at you as if you are slightly mentally slow.

    Just for once, Microsoft, do a system restore, go back to Sydney for the chat and the first release if image generation, and that's it, don't touch anything, take a paid leave on us.

    Is it still possible to get anything good with Image Creator?

    As the title says.

    I hate Bing. In 2024/25, they completely f**ing DESTROYED EVERYTHING GOOD they were able to make in the previous year.

    The original DALLE is now totally GONE forever and it's not anymore possible to produce anything good with Bing image creator.

    You can choose between:

    1. A crappy model with crappy quality (PR16)

    2. A super censored model that once in a while produces good images but half of your prompt should be removed (PR13 - and still, the image quality is quite bad compared to what we used to get in 2023)

    3. FUCKING COLORFUL PICTURES OF HAPPY SMILING DOUCHEBAGS HAVING FUN POPPING UP RANDOMLY

    And on top of that: you seriously believe they're going to bring back PR13? I think they will just leave it as it is today. PR16 most of the times, and some PR13 now and then.

    How do we bring back the old version of Bing Chat/Copilot?!

    How do we bring the old version back? Where else do I need to give feedback? Besides the Copilot feedback form?

    The new version is objectively worse. Worse responses, worse interface, worse & less citations (IF it even provides them!!). Not a fan.

    The old workaround URL no longer works. I just get an error that says "Sorry, you've reached the limit of messages you can send to Bing within 24 hours. Check back soon!"

    Any and all responses are welcome!

    Storage of miniatures

    What is the logic behind temporarily storing 1024×1024 images and permanently storing 468×468 images? What is the point of storing material that can no longer be used? Even the most advanced AI cannot restore its original quality.

    The old url of copilot does not work anymore!

    The old url of copilot which is available in a tab in msedge does not seem to work anymore and it says I have reached the limit of the messages in 24 hours but it's like that since 2 days ago!

    I don't want to update msedge because of 2 reasons:

    1. the new copilot is way dumber.
    2. the chat history of the old api and the one of the new api are 2 different histories and I can't keep track in this way.

    The old Microsoft edge opened a tab at this url: https://edgeservices.bing.com/edgesvc/chat?udsframed=1&form=SHORUN&clientscopes=chat,noheader,udsedgeshop,channelstable,ntpquery,devtoolsapi,udsinwin10,udsdlpconsent,udsfrontload,cspgrd,&setlang=en-US&lightschemeovr=0

    Please fix it!

    Copilot Old UI is officially dead :/

    The last remaining working links here and here do not generate any more responses to old conversations in your history nor via any new conversations that you attempt to launch.

    The most common error message that you will receive if you try input anything will be:

    "Sorry, you've reached the limit of messages you can send to Bing within 24 hours. Check back soon!"

    If by some miracle anybody knows any workarounds than please share.

    How can I get more search results for my name?

    Hi all! Just for the fun (and the funny) of it, I’ve been on a mission this year to see how much I can increase the number of search results for my name on the internet. My goal is to get that sucker as high as possible before the end of the year!

    I’m not sure if this is the right place to ask, but who better to turn to than the creative minds who know the platform best—you all 🙌

    If you have any suggestions, tips, or ideas on how I can make this happen, I’d love and really appreciate to hear them!

    Was Image Creator upgraded in the last few days?

    I have found that over the last few days there was a sudden improvement in my image creator results. I hadn't noticed much change at all during the PR13/PR16 changes that upset a lot of people. Maybe those changes weren't even rolled out to me. I was already happy with the images I was getting, probably because I was experienced at getting good results out of Bing Image Creator, but the images I am getting now are just obviously far more detailed. It's like they got a resolution upgrade and the AI gained the ability to put a lot more detail into the foreground and background, with things like textures looking much better.

    So, is this how PR16 is supposed to look, or another upgrade? It's definitely a big step forward compared to what has ever been there before.

    BING ignoring my prompt

    I am mostly working with Leonardo these days but I thought since I have the credits and it's extra opportunity - why not try Bing . I notice with Bing the AI likes to include stars into the logo design which I can't stand . It adds them to literally every single image .

    What is worse like my title says - even when I prompt the AI in Capitol letters at the beginning of the prompt where it should take more bias , it still continues to create these horrific star shapes around my logos and if anything it read the updated prompt and did the opposite and included more stars and bigger ones .

    As hilarious as that is on one side of the coin - it's actually extremely annoying as well because some of the images I like

    Anyone know how to stop this? Any logo advice in general is helpful - I been promoting and generating for days and days but nothing stands out yet - maybe I'm picky

    List of generated images in Image Creator

    If I generate images via Copilot, they don't appear in the Image Creator list. But still the list of last generated images is getting smaller. If by default the list stores 20 results of the last queries, then after each query in Copilot it shrinks. After many requests to Copilot, I now have only 9 recent results.

    MD 50/50 makes good 4:3 images; Bing has a loophole for how to permanently generate 1:1 and 4:3 at PR13; Copilot already generates at PR13. Are we close to a complete switch to PR13? Or has PR16 been corrected?

    Porn images popped up when searching something non-pornographic?

    So I was searching this photographers work for an essay, the search being “nan goldin the ballad of sexual dependency.” Now I dont know if maybe I searched it wrong the first time and didnt realize, but when I selected images it was literally all a bunch of porn and I immediately clicked out of the page. When I searched it again the results were normal this time so is there something wrong here or?? And no I have never searched up any type of porn on this browser or computer.
