We receive a bunch of advertising from tens of image-generating tools and apps, with promises of amazing capabilities. But when you try them, many are horrible to the point of coshame (when you are ashamed for others), so we decided to try them and list which seemed the best. Let’s dive in. | ||
Today, we’re taking a closer look at three of the leading AI image generators: DaVinci, ChatGPT Pro image generator, and Bing Copilot Designer. These tools are transforming the landscape of digital art and design, enabling users to create detailed and imaginative visuals from simple text prompts. | ||
Testing the Tools with a Unified Prompt | ||
To compare the performance of DaVinci, ChatGPT Pro image generator, and Bing Copilot Designer, we used the following prompt: | ||
“Make me a realistic photo of a man standing on the Moon, looking at the Earth that looks all built up and overtaken by artificial intelligence. This is in the future, so a piece of Earth is missing, and there is an atmosphere trail around it. The man on the Moon is wearing a tight futuristic suit like Star Lord in Guardians of the Galaxy.“ | ||
Comparative Analysis | ||
Each AI tool brought unique strengths to the image generation process: | ||
– DaVinci: Known for its high-quality and detailed images, DaVinci produced a visually stunning portrayal of the man on the Moon. We received three images to choose from. The Earth in the background was intricately detailed, but without any sign of AI visible on Earth, so not showing a high level of adherence to the prompt. DaVinci offers 3 free credits and then 50 more for $9,99. | ||
| ||
– ChatGPT Pro image generator: This tool offered only one image, but excelled in creating dynamic compositions, with the man and the Moon positioned in an engaging and realistic manner. The futuristic elements were well-integrated into the scene. Earth is well-recognizable, and there is a nice indication that it is in the future and that AI might have taken over. The downside is that ChatGPT PRO costs $20/month, and there is no free version. | ||
| ||
– Bing Copilot Designer: Bing’s AI showed strong capabilities in generating futuristic environments. We were offered 4 images to choose from. The atmospheric effects and the missing piece of Earth were creatively executed. We used a subscription to Microsoft 365 to access it for free. | ||

Below is a list of ten other AI image-generating tools, ranked by the search volume they receive in Google: | ||
1. DALL-E 2: Frequently asked about due to its novelty and wide range of capabilities, but OpenAI has closed free Dall-e 2 version from 1st of April 2024 and only Dall-e 3 is available in paid version of ChatGPT PRO (image generator). | ||
2. Midjourney: Popular among designers for its unique artistic flair. For many people this is the No 1 image generator. | ||
3. Artbreeder: Known for blending multiple images to create new visuals. | ||
4. Deep Dream: Gains interest for its surreal, dream-like image transformations. | ||
5. Runway ML: Appreciated in creative industries for easy integration with other tools. | ||
6. VQGAN+CLIP: Attracts tech-savvy users interested in deep learning research. | ||
7. Craiyon (formerly DALL-E Mini): Often mentioned for its accessibility and simplicity. | ||
8. Stable Diffusion: New on the scene but quickly gaining traction for high-resolution images. | ||
9. DeepArt: Known for transforming photos into artworks in the styles of famous painters. | ||
10. Luminar AI: Frequently discussed among photographers for its automated editing features. | ||
Conclusion | ||
AI image generators are rapidly evolving, offering increasingly sophisticated tools for artists, designers, and enthusiasts. By comparing these tools using a standard prompt, we compared their capabilities so we can better choose the right tool for specific creative needs. Our top pick would be Bing Copilot Designer. There is a pretty big chance you already have a Microsoft 365 subscription, and then you can use Copilot for free (almost unlimited prompts). |
