Bing Video Creator gives you ChatGPT's AI video generation, for free

In the last few days, AI-generated text-to-video has taken off, with Google's lifelike Veo 3 model generating video and dialogue that approach realism. Now Microsoft has entered the fray, by offering the video-generation portion for free with Bing Video Creator. Unfortunately, the new Bing Video Creator is accompanied by a cadre of compromises, although the premise is still true: Download the Bing mobile application for your smartphone, and you can generate 10 "fast" 5-second creations for free, although you'll have to pay for more with credits in Microsoft's system or just wait longer. Here's how Bing Video Creator works, and what works…and what doesn't. Microsoft's free Bing app for your smartphone is essentially a Start menu for all of Microsoft's mobile services.
