The #1 most frustrating part of image models to me has always been their inability to keep the relevant details. Ask to change a hairstyle and you'd get a subtly different person

..guess that's solved now.. overnight. Mindblowing

Not that these examples aren't really good. But you only have to spend a small amount of time to find a lot of mistakes.

"Solved" is a strong word...

These actually look awesome, wonder if it can actually create nice isometric graphics for games

The ability to pretty accurately keep the same image from an input is a clear sign of it's improved abilities.

Bytedance's Seedream seems to be giving it a run for its money:

Seedream 4 is yet another phenomenal Chinese model. On my comparison site it's currently ranked #1 scoring 9 out of 12. Nano-Banana trails at 7 out of 12.

sigh

so many little details off when the instructions are clear and/or the details are there. Brad Pitt jeans? The result are not the same style and missing clear details which should be expected to just translate over.

Another one where the prompt ended with output in a 16:9 ratio. The image isn't in that ratio.

The results are visually something but then still need so much review. Can't trust the model. Can't trust people lazily using it. Someone mentioned something about 'net negative'.

Yes, almost all of the examples are off in one way or another. The viewpoints don't actually match the arrow directions, for example. And if you actually use the model, you will see that even these examples must be cherry-picked.

The way you formulated your message just made me realize that we got somehow duped into accepting the term "model" (as in "scientific model") as a valid word for this AI stuff. A scientific model has a theoretical foundation and specific configuration parameters.

The way current AI is set up, you can't even reliably adjust the position of the sun.

I wouldn't consider the word "model" to be too precious. It does not have an expectation of fidelity in general.

Also, of course: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_models_are_wrong

You need to wait until someone does the exact picture you want, annotates it in their android photo library, and google uses it to train their AI models. But then they will be able to provide you the perfect result for your query, totally done with AI! ;)

It is HIGHLY unlikely that site is using actual Gemini Flash 2.5 - ICANN shows the domain was registered on Aug 14th 2025, practically a week before Google even announced the availability of Nano Banana.

While these are incredibly good, it's sad to think about the unfathomable amount of abuse, spam, disinformation, manipulation and who know what other negatives these advancement are gonna cause. It was one thing when you could spot an AI image, but now and moving forward it's be basically increasingly futile to even try.

Almost all "human" interaction online will be subject to doubt soon enough.

Hard to be cheerful when technology will be a net negative overall even if it benefits some.

By your logic email is clearly a net negative, given how much junk it generates - spam, phishing, hate mails, etc. Most of my emails at this point are spams.

If we're talking objectively, yeah by definition if it's a net negative, it's a net negative. But we can both agree in absolute terms the negatives of email are manageable.

Hopefully you understand the sentiment of my original message, without getting into the semantics. AI advancement, like email when it arrived, are gonna turbocharge the negatives. Difference is in the magnitude of the problem. We're dealing with whole different scale we have never seen before.

Re: Most of my emails at this point are spams. - 99% of my emails are not spam. Yet AI spam is everywhere else I look online.

Their argument is false equivalence. You can’t just say “if you’re saying X is negative, you must believe that Y is negative because some of the negatives could be conceptually similar.” A good faith cost benefit analysis would rank both the cost and risks of an extremely accurate, cheap, on-demand commercial image generation service and an entirely open asynchronous worldwide text communication protocol, in different universes.

Does the first example really need to be some softcore weeb p*rn?

Yeah, back when I did image processing in university, we used real playboy models.

Yes, I think it was the right call if they want the post to be taken seriously by a broad audience.

I added some of these examples into my Nanna Banana image generator: https://nannabanana.ai
