Very fun

So Europe gets AI-Geo-Cock-Blocked again? It would be nice if the "works in most countries" was a hyperlink to a list of those anointed countries, rather than having to excitedly try then disappointingly fail to use these new capabilities.

Bing / Dall-E 3 is already great at generating images, works everywhere, and is already seamlessly integrated into Edge browser, just saying.

For me, in the UK it still gives "That’s not something I’m able to do yet." from the prompt: "make a picture of a lifelike bart simpson".

All my settings/location are in the UK.

Where do you see that?

I don't see any information of Europe being blocked.

But I'm in Europe, and I can't get Bard to make images.

I wonder if they're still sorting out the ramifications of the EU's new AI Act: https://artificialintelligenceact.eu/the-act/
