Microsoft Paint Users Can Now Get Their Coloring Book On
The tech giant has recently made a move that's left many wondering if AI is truly ready for mainstream adoption. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has stated in the past that AI needs to prove its worth, but it seems his company thinks otherwise with its latest innovation: AI-generated coloring books.
For those curious enough, these digital coloring books can be created using a simple text prompt. Take "a cute fluffy cat on a donut" as an example, and you'll see that the AI tool spits out several different options based on your request. Users can then choose which image they want to add to their workspace, copy it, save it, or even print it for some quality time with the kids.
The coloring book feature is currently available to Windows Insiders in the Copilot+ PCs beta and will only be accessible through this channel until further notice. Another exciting update coming from Microsoft Paint is the addition of a fill tolerance slider within the Fill tool, allowing users to adjust the precision level they desire when adding color to their canvas.
In other developments, Microsoft has improved its Write, Rewrite, and Summarize AI functionality in Notepad, which now integrates with GPT for more efficient writing and summarizing complex notes. However, cloud features require a Microsoft account and can only be accessed by those in the Canary and Dev channels of Windows 11.
