Since Bing has been down all day...
2 years ago
I've been trying other image generators. I'm beginning to rank them for my use.
There are several which, even though you tell it "red fox" and "Zootopia" it produces human images only. I toss those aside.
Some won't take Zootopia as a descriptive word. In those cases I simply say "3D animation"
I'll eventually narrow it down to a group that are close to what I want in an image.
So far, Bing beats them all for me.

I use Hero Forge to help envision characters. I can't use the images I create for anything except saying "Look what I made with Hero Forge!" I can't buy the figurines to resell, or even give away; I don't think I could use them to illustrate a story unless I made some kind of deal with the company (they do seem to get hooked up with games and novels, even producing parts to go with the novels) and the figures aren't rigged for animation.
But as a game, it's obsessive fun, and as a drawing model, it's a great tool, like those mannekins artists use to get a pose right.
I've not been very impressed with the results I've gotten from the Bing generator. The stuff Maxgoof linked to for his Zootopia fan fic are surprisingly good, which makes me think that a lot of art I've seen using the ZT characters is more likely than not AI generated (shhhhh!) because it's so show-accurate. But the things Bing has coughed out when I used it are so far off, it's pitiful.
I guess we should welcome our new computerized overlords, but it's good that some people are in fact taking a stand against them, like FA. Because if you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything.
Kinks, no problem though...as long as they're drawn by a breathing artist!
It shows a complete misunderstanding of how those AIs work. It's not different, really, that a beginning artist using someone else's work as a model to learn. No different at all.
But then, we get artists who get their fur in a ruff when someone uses their images to learn from. Me? You copy something I do, I take it as a compliment that it is good enough that you want to copy it.
