All these image models are time vampires and need to be looked at with very suspicious eyes. Try to make a room - that's easy, now try to make multiple views of the same room - next to impossible. If one is intending to use these image models for anything that requires consistency of imagery, forget it.

Half the time I ask Gemini to generate some image it claims it doesn't have the capability. And in general I've felt it's so hard to actually use the features Google announce? Like, a third of them is in one product, some in another which I can't use, and no idea what or where I should pay to get access. So confusing.

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

Why is it called nano banana?

Very impressive. I have to say while I'm deeply impressed by these text to image models, there's a part of me that's also wary of their impact. Just look at the comments beneath the average Facebook post.

I don't mean to be rude, but this sounds like natural selection doing its work.

Engineers often have silly project names internally, then some marketing team rewrites the name for public release.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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...

hm, but isn't it wild thinking that elon is talking to you and asking you for 15k , like bro has the money of his lifetime, why would he ask you? It doesn't make that much sense idk

Even Elon could lose his credit card or something, the story they spin is always something like that "I am rich but in a pickle, please send some money here and then I'll send you back 10x as much tomorrow when I get back to my account", but of course they never send it back.

Edit: But of course Elon would call someone he knows rather than a stranger, rich people know a lot of people so of course they would never contact you about this.

I've had a task in mind for a while now that I've wanted to do with this latest crop of very capable instruction-following image editors. Without going into detail, basically the task boils down to, "generate exactly image 1, but replace object A with the object depicted in image 2." Where image 2 is some front-facing generic version, ideally I want the model to place this object perfectly in the scene, replacing the…

Yes! There is a model called ACE++ from Alibaba that is specifically trained to replace masked areas with a reference image. We use it in https://phind.design . It does seem like a very esoteric and uncommon task though.

I don't think it is that esoteric, that sounds like deepfake 101. If you don't mind answering, does Phind do anything to prevent / mitigate this?

Yeah, in fact the website says "Try it in Gemini" and I'm not sure if I'm already trying it or not - if I choose Gemini 2.5 Flash in the regular Gemini UI, I'm using this?
