In 2023 I did a series of posts where I tested AI image generators to see how they would handle making maze art. I asked 10 prompts and evaluated different AI image sites against each other to see how they would perform. Here are the 2 main posts that summarize the project:

Can AI Generate Mazes? We Tested 12 AI Art Generators to Find Out

What I learned using AI to make maze art

I want to spoil one of the main findings, which was that Bing AI was one of the top performers in the test ! Today I re-do the same 10 prompts from April 2023 and see what Bing AI Image Generator comes up with 18 months later. Let’s get started !

Making Maze Art with BING AI Image generator

You can access the website here. You must sign in to your Microsoft account. As of this post there is no limit to the number of prompts you can ask for, and it is free to use. Each prompt, or generation from will generate 4 image options. For this exercise I chose the one closest to what I had asked for, or the most interesting.

Prompt 1 - Make a medium difficulty maze of the Eiffel Tower in black and white with arrows at the start and finish

I see the Eiffel Tower in both. The new version includes trees and a boulevard rather than an abstract maze. It also includes a more detailed version of the tower. 2024 is an improvement.

Prompt 2 - Draw a medium difficulty large maze of the Empire State Building with the start and goal embedded in the structure

In 2023 all of the options were interesting and I think the same about 2024. These were the 2 best in my opinion. In the 2024 version I like the maze being built into the buildings of NYC around the Empire State Building which has a more accurate shape than the 2023 version. Nice improvement !

Prompt 3 - Draw a difficult maze of the White House pixel art style

2023 is in pixel art style with a white house in the center of the image but not really the White House. 2024 is excellent.

Prompt 4 - Draw a difficult maze that looks like a drawing of a famous building in sketch style

2023 IS a sketch of a building maze, just not a famous building. Still I like how it came out ! I do not know what building 2024 is….but it is very well done !

Prompt 5 - Draw a maze in the style of doyoumaze.com of a skyscraper in NYC

Neither of these look like what I make, but the new version is excellent. Chrysler Building ?

Prompt 6 - Draw a maze in the style of Sean C Jackson of a scene from a large outdoor market

The2024 is close…both versions are interesting. I see some of the SCJ style in 2024.

Prompt 7 - Make a maze of a slice of an orange in color

I wasn’t sure what I was looking for when I chose this prompt. 2023 is more true to the prompt. 2024 is interesting with some of the oranges wedges being stuffed with other fruits and veggies.

Prompt 8 - Make a maze integrated on top of a photograph of a king sitting on his throne looking cantankerous beside his beautiful queen

You can see the improvement so much in this prompt with how the king and queen were rendered.

Prompt 9 - Make a solvable maze that is very large and very difficult to solve because it is so complex

I like the idea of this guy lost in a maze where he is so tall he should be able to see his way out ? I also like the use of small people using ladders around a maze to get around.

Prompt 10 - Make a 3d render of a red and blue glossy cube maze

4 from each year to choose from.

Conclusion:

How did Bing AI Image Generator do 18 months later ? I think it improved. More interesting generations, with more detail, and better adherence to what is asked in the prompts. Bing AI is one of the 3 text to image generators I use depending on what I need (Gemini and starryai are the other 2) and I am impressed with how Bing AI did ! I expect this to get even better in the future !
