Microsoft Could Launch An AI-Powered Version Of The Paint App: Report

The tech community has seen a lot of developments in the generative AI space this year—from the launch of GPT-4-powered Bing to Google’s PaLM 2 LLM. Now, it appears that Microsoft’s investment in OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT, and AI in general—will allow it to power its long-running tools like Paint with generative AI as well. According to a report by WindowsCentral, the Redmond-based tech giant is experimenting with bringing generative AI technology to its Paint app on Windows 11. The source also further hinted that Microsoft could also be adding generative AI capabilities to other Windows 11 apps—like Photos and Snipping Tool. But until then, the company is expected to make several AI-centric announcements and launch new hardware—including new Surface products—at its September 21 event next month.
