Google Gemini wird allerorten hochgelobt, soll besser als ChatGPT sein. Doch auch dort hakt es: Der Bildgenerator Nano Banana weigert sich Bilder im Format 16:9 zu generieren. Immer nur 1:1. So wird das nichts und ich muss andere KI nehmen, um die Titelbilder für meine Blogbeiträge zu erstellen #Gemini #KIBilder
Gemini Nano Banana Pro is a remarkable technical achievement that gives you a sense of what a remastered game might look like. Granted, the original game/graphics have their charm as well.
Still wouldn't use it in a final output, but for conceptualization, it is fascinating.
Here is an example for Shenmue.

Time may fly like an arrow, but "fruit flies like a banana" is NOT true. Most fruits are round and have completely different aerodynamic properties. Apples and oranges, for instance, don't fly the same way as a banana at all. Let's retire such undue generalizations in 2026.

My brother has a bunch of old family photos. He’s taken pics of some of them and used photoshop’s AI nano banana pro on them.
This is my paternal great-grandmother. Name and dates unknown, but definitely sometime in the 18th century. I’ll add a name and dates if/when my brother sends them.

"Das Bildmodell von Google soll aber nicht nur hübsche Bilder produzieren, das Unternehmen sieht das Einsatzgebiet auch bei hilfreichen Dinge wie Infografiken. Da Nano Banana Pro hier nicht nur auf das Wissen von Gemini 3 Pro sondern auch die Google-Suche zurückgreifen kann, soll es in diesem Bereich bisherige Modelle klar hinter sich lassen. So kann das Modell dann etwa genutzt werden, um Echtzeitinformationen zu Dingen wie Wetter oder auch den aktuellen Stand eines Fußballspiels zu vi…

I vibe coded a game in Claude Opus 4.5. It is neither perfect nor a one shot. This took about 4 hours or so. The image is from Nano Banana and yes, that's my old Saab 900s from my LA days. The game is meant to evoke a video game on a PC or Mac in 1991.

I have prompted Google Gemini (with Nano Banana engine) to generate the image of historical Jesus by using scientific data on him and ignoring iconography
Here, we see a typical wandering preacher from Galilee of the first years AD. This is a plausible image of how the real Jesus might look like

I heard about something call "Nano Banana Pro" and I was *really* hoping it would be something like this and not some fucking AI bullshit.

My almost 4 year old wakes us up yelling: I need to go potty, but I have a banana in my hand.
My partner: put the banana on the table and go to the potty
My almost 4 year old: ok!

I'm all for whimsical, but I want professional software to be serious again.
Just got a message that Photoshop now supports "Nano Banana".
I refuse to look up what that is, though in my headcanon it's one of those Italian brainrot meme "AI" generated animals.
I have no idea what the hack is this Google Nano banana thing I saw in my RSS feed

We should always keep a few beat-up bananas around to make banana bread whenever necessary. For sanity's sake.
Banana Shire’s recent history’s tied heavily to #coal, but they’ve pivoted towards #solar generation in the last couple of years. It’s great to see they’re following that up with environmentally responsible policy to mitigate landfill from solar generation, too.

Green banana flour. This was made from Cavendish bananas, green but fully rounded out, sliced about 5mm thick and dried at 58C (dehydrator using solar power) for about 8 hours, then milled in my new (to me) op shop Vitamix. It's a lovely fine silky flour. It takes about 40 Cavs to make a kilo of flour, so well worth it. #permaculture
BananaFin, my mix of project Banana (immutable KDE/Aurora) and BlueFin, is reaching finalization.Tomorrow some more testing (have brew and flatpak install my own applications upon first boot), but it is all running very smoothly. Aside from this being my hobby as well, you'd just install this and get on with it. And yes, it's a bootc container, from the cloud, secure boot enabled and it runs flatpaks and systemd. And very well, thank you!
