I wasn't aware there is a channel where Google asks for feedback or where you are able to tell them that you love it. I only see a "report a problem button". Which channel is it?
> When we first launched native image generation in Gemini 2.0 Flash earlier this year, you told us you loved its low latency, cost-effectiveness, and ease of use.

I can imagine an automated blackmail bot that scrapes image, video, voice samples from anyone with the most meagre online presence, which then creates high resolution videos of that person doing the most horrid acts, then threatening to share those videos with that person's family, friends and business contacts unless they are paid $5000 in a cryptocurrency to an anonymous address. And further, I can imagine some per…
I’m more bullish on cryptographic receipts than on AI detectors. Capture signing (C2PA) plus an identity bind could give verifiable origin. The hard parts, in my view, are adoption and platform plumbing. If we have a trust worthy way to verify proof-of-human made content than anything missing those creds would be red flags. https://iptc.org/news/googles-pixel-10-phone-supports-c2pa-u...

Yes, the base image's hands are creepy.
I noticed the AI pattern on the sunglasses first. I guess all of the source images are AI-generated? In a sense, that makes the result slightly less impressive -- is it going to be as faithful to the original image when the input isn't already a highly likely output for an AI model? Were the input images generated with the same model that's being used to manipulate them?
Unfortunately, it suffers from the same safetyism than other many releases. Half of the prompts get rejected. How can you have character consistency if the model is forbidden from editing any human. And most of my photo editing involves humans, so basically this is just a useless product. I get that Google doesn't want to be responsible for deep fake advances, but that seems inevitable, so this is just slightly delay…
I have an old photo of my girlfriend with her cousin when they were young, wearing Christmas dresses in front of the tree, not long before they were separated to other sides of the world for decades now. The photo is itself low quality on top of the photo itself being physically beat up. So far no model is willing to clean it up :/
However, the results the comfyui people get are lightyears ahead of any oneshot-prompt model. Either you can find someone to do cleanup for you (should be trivial, I wouldn't pay more than $10-15) or if you have good specs for inference you could learn to do it yourself.
I've updated the GenAI Image comparison site (which focuses heavily on strict text-to-image prompt adherence) to reflect the new Google Gemini 2.5 Flash model (aka nano-banana). https://genai-showdown.specr.net This model gets 8 of the 12 prompts correct and easily comes within striking distance of the best-in-class models Imagen and gpt-image-1 and is a significant upgrade over the old Gemini Flash 2.0 model. The re…
I am glad that I never decided to become a photoshop pro. I always contemplated about it, seemed attractive for a while, but glad that I decided against it. RIP r/photoshopbattles. It was in the endless list of new shiny 'skills' that feels good to have. Now I can use nano-banana instead. Other models will soon follow, I am sure.
Retouching is an art. To the pro, this is just another tool to increase efficiency. You pay them not just for knowing how to use Photoshop, but for exercising good judgement. That said, I imagine this will shrink the field, since fewer retouchers will be able to do the same work, unless the amount of work goes up commensurately. Will people get more retouching done if the price goes down? Not sure.
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…
I don't really understand the point of this usecase. Like, can't you also imagine what the photos might look like without the damage? Same with AI upscaling in phone cameras... if I want a hypothetical idea of what something in the distance might look like, I can just... imagine it? I think we will eventually have AI based tools that are just doing what a skilled human user would do in Photoshop, via tool-use. This w…
If you leave to imagination, it's likely they each imagine something different.
