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.

Coloring books for kids!

, cant believe ms paint is making it so easy to create coloring books now 
. i mean, who needs to draw when you can just say what you want and let the ai do the work 
, adults are gonna love this feature too 
. also, nice upgrade to ms paint with that fill tolerance slider 
. makes me wanna dig out my old canvas 
and get creative again 
.
I mean, who wouldn't want a cute fluffy cat on a donut to brighten up their workspace? But seriously, it's like the tech giant is trying to prove that AI is more than just a novelty. 
On the other hand, I think it's pretty cool that Microsoft is improving their Notepad AI features. Writing can be such a drag sometimes, so having a tool like GPT integrated into Notepad will definitely make writing and summarizing complex notes way easier.
. Imagine being able to create your own personalized mandalas or patterns using AI-generated designs... it's like having a meditation buddy that never judges you! 
I'm excited to see where this tech takes us and how we can use it for our own personal growth.
" AI-generated coloring books? That's wild! I mean, I guess it's kinda cool that kids (and let's be honest adults too) can get their artistic on with some fancy computer magic 
The precision level thingy is so clutch when I'm trying to make my artwork look less like a hot mess 
. Not sure about these AI updates in Notepad tho...I mean I guess it's nice that they're making writing and summarizing easier, but what's the point of having a fancy AI tool if you can't even print out your masterpiece 
?
its like ms paint is tryna become my go-to coloring tool 
i wish it was out for everyone already tho 
I mean like who doesn't love coloring books, right? AI-generated ones are pretty cool too... kinda. I tried it out with the prompt "a cute fluffy cat on a donut" and it gave me some weird options lol. Not sure if I'll use it to color my notes or something but hey, it's an interesting idea
