Microsoft Paint’s new Cocreator is an unexpected AI art treat

Microsoft’s Paint app now boasts not just one, but two AI art tools — Image Creator and Cocreator — and boy, are they something.

First things first: Microsoft Cocreator, the scaled-down version of Microsoft’s Bing Image Creator/Microsoft Designer, is still the engine of AI art in Paint. Type in a prompt, and it will create a scene according to your description and style.

Except it’s not. Microsoft Cocreator was renamed to Image Creator, and Microsoft Cocreator is now an entirely different tool.
