Google’s new image generator, NanoBanana, creates ultra-realistic photos, sharp visuals, and clean text that look professionally produced. Its upgraded version, Nano Banana Pro, fixes common AI flaws and even renders accurate, legible text directly in the image. With integration directly into the Google app, anyone can generate high-quality images instantly from the search bar.
But its realism has sparked serious concern among AI skeptics and misinformation experts who say this leap arrived faster than expected. Demonstrations have already shown NanoBanana producing convincing fake ID cards and images nearly impossible to detect at a glance. As AI-generated photos become indistinguishable from reality, experts warn that scams, misinformation, and trust in online media could become major challenges.
