If your artistic style is more stick-figure than Picasso, Microsoft has a remedy to boost your creativity: adding artificial intelligence to its Paint application.
If your artistic style is more stick-figure than Picasso, Microsoft has a remedy to boost your creativity: adding artificial intelligence to its Paint application. The company is rolling out new AI tools for Paint as part of a Windows 11 update. Microsoft — like its Big Tech competitors — is introducing AI to its consumer products, from virtual chatbot assistants to notetaking and editing tools. But … MS Paint? It’s one of the simplest applications Microsoft produces and has changed little since it was introduced in 1985. It’s as rudimentary as it gets. But that could be the point: A promise of AI is to help people save time on tasks. If you need something that looks sharp but don’t have the ability to do it yourself, using the most basic app to create something beautiful is … well, kind of what AI is made for. And one of the most enduring elements of the AI boom has been the intrigue of AI-generated artwork.
