In case you missed it, Microsoft recently shipped a major update to Bing Image Creator.
The update included the latest version of OpenAI’s DALL-E 3 image generation model under the codename PR16.

The company promised high-quality images generated “twice as fast” as before.
Since the launch of Bing Image Creator last spring, users have generated billions of images with text prompts.
I’m pleased to share our latest updates to enhance your creative experience.
Users flooded social media with posts blatantly expressing their disappointment with the update.
A classic case of overpromising and under-delivering.
The deployment process is very slow unfortunately.
It started over a week ago and will take 2-3 more weeks to get to 100%.
Most of them at least.
I understand that PR16 was faster, but quality matters over speed.
I never thought Bing was overly slow to begin with.
And who cares how fast a program is if the pictures are ugly?
I would be happy if this model was permanent.
Maybe a hand-off approach from this point forward is the best approach.
A little scared that the next update will be similar to the old one.
I actually stopped using Bing for a few weeks because the generated images were so disappointing.
But the quality now seems very good.
I don’t think we need new updates that will potentially ruin that again."
