Nano Banana is scary good
Everyone’s calling Nano Banana a “Photoshop killer.” That’s just hyperbole, right? …Or is it? What if it’s more than just a Photoshop killer?
I played around with it for a bit, and it is LEGIT. I just did a jersey swap in 17.3 seconds:
Not 17.3 minutes. 17.3 SECONDS.
Photoshop gurus used to spend hours on this type of thing!
Let’s play around with it some more. Micah Parsons just got traded to the Green Bay Packers, so let’s see how he will look on game day:
Spectacular.
My Philadelphia Eagles just won two Super Bowls recently. Let’s relive those moments, but replace the Lombardi trophy:
Keep in mind that all of these edits just took a few seconds each.
“But wait!” you say, “Other AI tools like ChatGPT can do image edits too!”
You’re right… but not as well as Nano Banana.
Let’s compare (left is Nano Banana, right is ChatGPT):
Yeah, it’s not even close. ChatGPT’s edits look significantly worse, and it alters the ENTIRE image—giving the subject that weird glossy AI look. Not to mention that ChatGPT takes forever to generate the new image.
Nano Banana just grabbed the crown of AI Image Editing, but that’s not all it can do. It’s smart too!
It can generate images based on map information:
Now let’s see what a ridiculous Eagles fan might look like on game day:
Excellent choice in clothing. Now let’s see him cheer on the Eagles:
He should be watching the game, though.
That’s better.
Now let’s say the game is over (Eagles won by a million), and Jalen Hurts is doing a press conference.
Nice jacket. Now show me what he’s looking at.
Whoa! Big crowd! But the crowd looks too nice. This is Philly, after all. Let’s make them mean.
He’s facing the haters, and he’s unfazed.
And we’ll end this blog post on that inspirational note.
