Please pardon me since I don't know if this is satirical or not. I'd wish if you could clarify it. Because if this is real, then the world is cooked if not, then the fact that I think that It might be real but the only reason I believe its a joke is because you are on hackernews so I think that either you are joking or the tech has gotten so convincing that even people on hackernews (which I hold to a fair standard)…

I guess it was something like [0] The Nigerian prince is now a deep fake Elon but the concept is the same. You need to send some money to get way more back. [0]: https://www.ncsc.admin.ch/ncsc/en/home/aktuell/im-fokus/2023...

That's an "advance fee" scam.

Anyone know how it handles '1920s nazi officer'? They stopped doing humans for a while but now I see they're back so I wonder how they're handling the criticism they got from that

What is a "1920s nazi officer" what do they look like?

The SA article has some photos

I don't get the hype. Tested it with the same prompts I used with Midjourney, and the results are worse than in Midjourney a year ago. What am I missing?

This is the gpt 4 moment for image editing models. Nano banana aka gemini 2.5 flash is insanely good. It made a 171 elo point jump in lmarena! Just search nano banana on Twitter to see the crazy results. An example. https://x.com/D_studioproject/status/1958019251178267111

It seems like every combination of "nano banana" is registered as a domain with their own unique UI for image generation... are these all middle actors playing credit arbitrage using a popular model name?

I'd assume they are just fake, take your money and use a different model under the hood. Because they already existed before the public release. I doubt that their backend rolled the dice on LMArena until nano-banana popped up. And that was the only way to use it until today.

I digitised our family photos but a lot of them were damaged (shifted colours, spills, fingerprints on film, spots) that are difficult to correct for so many images. I've been waiting for image gen to catch up enough to be able to repair them all in bulk without changing details, especially faces. This looks very good at restoring images without altering details or adding them where they are missing, so it might fina…

Hope it works well for you! In my eyes, one specific example they show (“Prompt: Restore photo”) deeply AI-ifies the woman’s face. Sure it’ll improve over time of course.

Another question/concern for me: if I restore an old picture of my Gramma, will my Gramma (or a Gramma that looks strikingly similar) ever pop up on other people's "give me a random Gramma" prompts?

[flagged]

These SpaceX scams are rampant on youtube and highly, highly lucrative. It’s crazy and you have to be very vigilant, as whatever is promised lines up with Elon’s MO.

Why would anyone give them any money AT ALL?

It's not like they're poor or struggling.

Am I missing something?

The hype is about image editing, not pure text-to-image. Upload an input image, say what you want changed, get the output. That's the idea. Much better preservation of characters and objects.

Hmm, I think the hype is mainly for image editing, not generating. Although note I haven't used it! How are you testing it?

Thanks for clarifying this. That makes a lot more sense.
