Recently, Microsoft decided to roll back the model upgrade of its AI-driven Bing image generator after users expressed dissatisfaction with the performance of the new version. Reports indicate that after upgrading the Bing image generator to the new DALL-E 3 model on December 18, users found that the tool's effectiveness had noticeably declined. Users complained that the quality of the generated images was not as good as before, especially in terms of detail handling and the accurate reflection of prompts.

On social media and relevant forums, many users expressed their disappointment. Jordi Ribas, head of Microsoft's search department, acknowledged on Twitter that they were able to reproduce some of the issues reported by users and stated that they would temporarily revert to the old DALL-E model. Although this process may take several weeks to complete, the company hopes this move will improve user experience.

After the upgrade, the images generated by the Bing image generator caused dissatisfaction among users regarding detail and quality. Users posted on OpenAI's community forum, showcasing a set of comparison images, pointing out that the image on the left was perfect in quality, while the one on the right appeared overly bright, affecting the overall effect. Additionally, some users reported that Bing's performance in handling the textures of anime characters' clothing was unsatisfactory, highlighting the new model's shortcomings in specific areas.

Microsoft may need to draw on the experiences of the artists involved in training the models to better manage user expectations.
