I was locked out of account for new reason and I did "send a code" to your account thing its not working! when I want it correctly, why?
I tried this for a few days, each day its happening..
Does anyone know how to apply this art style on prompts? It's from Darkest Dungeon game.
I just saw on LinkedIn that Microsoft launched a Discord to share updates and get feedback on Copilot (formerly Bing Chat). Here’s the link: https://discord.com/invite/go-copilot
Dear Bingers,
I have run into much confusion as I have realized that Copilot seems to have taken over what used to be a much more malleable experience, while using Microsoft Edge on Windows.
I can still access the mode switching through my iOS Bing App though, where I can utilize the more familiar Image Creator function rendering me 3-4 images and the ability to easily edit the outputs right there.
Not sure if I am just confuzzled, not asking Copilot the secret code word so it will give me actual useful info, or if Neo-Copilot with 1 lonely image ((no editing allowed)) is what we have now.
I have learned that there is some new Microsoft Designer App available in the iOS store, but this does not seem easily accessible through the latest update of Microsoft Edge.
So:
Can someone help me understand what is going on re:#1
Can someone help outline which image creation options are still/currently available, and if possible how to easily access that recent version where "Bing Chat" Creative mode would output 3-4 easily editable images? Or is there some new site we have to go to?
Any other whipper snappers experiencing the Copilot frustrations, and loss of the OG flavors?
Thank you all!
I'm wondering if there are plans to change the way image creator works in future, or provide extra functionality. Obviously, unless someone has insider knowledge I'm not going to find out, but it's fun to speculate.
When server demands lessen, I wonder if we could get tumblr style image creation, where we submit a prompt and can scroll down through pages and pages of results?
Will image creator ever do gif or video creation, or is there another ms app for that? I like what bing creates for images because it actually seems to understand my prompts, and I didn't get that with other image creators, so I would love to see the same understanding applied to moving images.
The only downside of bing for me is prompt blocking. I would like to be able to create more risky images - not porn, but things like including blood, or images that don't get blocked because they failed some sort of context check (I believe that's what happens because sometimes creation is fine in one scenario but not in another, where the only thing that changed is a background location).
The images look fried and crispy now, eyes and teeth are even more gnarly than before. It has the aesthetic of someone reducing the number of steps used to generate the images and it's super noticeable.
It remembers the names of all my pets and whether each one is a cat or dog, and sometimes even asks about them unprompted during an unrelated conversation. It also remembers my hobbies and what games I like. It mentioned these things when I asked what all it remembers about me and it was accurate. But when I asked what things it remembers about deeper things that I've talked to it about at length even more recently, like my spiritual beliefs and gender identity, it said it doesn't hold on to those conversations. Is it programmed to remember only certain categories of things?
I haven't gotten a refresh in the daily 15 credits in a good 3 weeks... has the number of freebies changed? I'm using the online browser version.
Already sent a request to Bing but if anyone has any advice on how to get around it, I'd appreciate it.
"You can't submit any more prompts
Please wait until your other on-going creations are complete before trying to create again."
I'm scared because I don't know if it's a problem with my account or with the image creator. Can it be solved somehow or do I just have to wait for it to pass?
First time here, I don't know if it's the correct place where to ask (and sorry for my english).
Since yesterday the "aspect ratio resizing" of bing image creator doesn't work on desktop, and I can't understand why. I'm trying to create images with 4:3 ratio, so, after creating one, I click on the resize button, I select 4:3, but nothing happens. Nothing. Anyone with the same problem?
Every solution is well accepted, thanks in advance!
I was wondering if anyone knows the daily limit for voice mode usage. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks.
So, my phone says I have like 800 reward points when I tap the hamburger menu, but when I check my actual rewards account, it only shows 56 or something. Also, whenever I generate an AI image on my laptop, my points don’t change at all. Instead, I just get this message: "How was your first solo creation? Don’t worry if it’s not exactly what you expected. Surprises are part of the process and joy of creating." Like… what’s going on here?
I can't change anything here, its just this , can't remowe news,no homepage settings anymore..
Bing chat used to have excellent citations and the ability to access the sites being used for reference with a list of links. Now it's almost impossible to get more than one or two links and if you ask for citations the model will outright refuse to provide them because of 'how it accesses that information.' This reeks of obfuscation and purposefully tainted responses.
Today however I came across the article (published Tuesday 2024-11-19) Data, privacy, and security for web search in Microsoft 365 Copilot and Microsoft Copilot.
"To provide greater visibility into the generated search queries, web search query citations are shown to users in the linked citation section of the Copilot response. The section shows the exact web search queries (derived from the user’s prompt) that were sent to the Bing search service. Showing the exact web search queries helps users understand what search queries, along with the sites searched, were used to enhance Copilot’s response to their prompt. This information can help users improve their prompts and use Copilot more effectively.
Web search query citations are available only in Microsoft 365 Copilot Business Chat. Citations aren’t available in the Copilot pane within a Microsoft 365 app, such as Word or PowerPoint. Also, the web search queries are only available for 24 hours."
Anyone know if there are still similar logs elsewhere in Edge or Bing? Were citations changed in the free chat model to lock this functionality behind the premium service? Anyone who has access to this feature in 365 already, does it resemble citations like those that Bing Chat used to provide? I wouldn't be opposed to subscribing or archiving my own citations before they're deleted in 24 hours. I just think they're essential if this is going to be a useful tool for research or reporting.
While Copilot/Microsoft seem to have the best free image generator, I'm finding less and less reason to use this model. If we can't even reference its sources to independently verify them, it goes from being an inferior product to outright detrimental for public use. Maybe this is a mistake and I was getting denied citations out of hallucination, but if permanent it's a point of no return for corroborating facts online. There are so many good competitors now that it feels like my fault for even trying to use copilot chat.
When I try to reformat my pictures it never laods, I've tried everything so far and nothing seems to be working
im trying to generate images of like low quality alien sightings for memes lol but i cant seem to get the right words. they all come out like theyve been taken with a high quality camera
I have seen a post where the user has access to copilot daily on their iOS device but as of now, I do not see it. Are the news updates available on iphone?
Can anyone provide some examples of company profiles on Bing showing conflicting and incorrect information? This would include things like the website for one business but the phone number, address, content from other businesses.
I’ve seen it countless times but I would like to see some good examples of the AI providing misleading and conflicting information for companies that have not registered their business on it.
I have been getting this constantly when trying to access from MS Edge for Windows 11 Pro.
This past day I noticed that prompts that worked pretty well before are now being blocked. Almost every single try. I've trimmed them down a lot and 90% are still being blocked. The quality of the ones that do get through is significantly lower. They also take much longer to generate now.
Was there a stealth update? Is something up with the servers?
Now the only way to use copilot is with the copilot app which has the sucky version of copilot (my main issue is how it generates images and removing the the art style changing in-UI options image creator box).
Edit: my bad, it’s still there, to the left of the search button in the middle without the standout pink copilot colours.
I've been trying out the latest Copilot voice feature, but I keep running into this message saying, "We're out of time. Sorry, I can only use my voice for so long! Come back this time tomorrow or subscribe to Copilot Pro to talk longer."
Here's the thing: I've barely used it for an hour this entire month!
My Questions:
I signed in, but anything I type gets a reply: "We are experiencing an issue. Please try submitting a new message." I can't download the app as I have an old 2012 iPad mini, so i use it on PC. Anyone else having issues? My internet connection is fine. I checked their website and it says its online.
Why is everything so STUPID in this damn app??
Yes I know, on the designer app there's the "copy prompt" button - but, guess what: it copies only the first sentence of the prompt!! Am I the only one experiencing this?
However:
When you save an image in the bing image creator, it is impossible to directly copy the prompt from the saved image. I always have to screenshot the page (i use It on my phone) and use the Samsung text recognition to obtain the prompt, then cancel all the newlines (because it's splitted in multiple lines - this happens also when copying from my laptop...)
I mean was it too smart to put a darn copy button???
And this is only one of the many issues I have with this illogic dumb app
