Google, the king of the technology world, has once again surprised everyone by announcing the addition of a new and very funny photo editor to its AI tool Gemini. The name of this new feature is ‘Nano Banana’. This tool can give a new and funny look to your ordinary photos using artificial intelligence.
This was announced by Google CEO Mr. Sundar Pichai himself, and his style of presenting it was also very unique.
Mr. Sundar Pichai showed his magic with a picture of a dog. Sundar Pichai shared a picture of his pet dog on the social media platform ‘X’ (formerly Twitter). At first glance, it seems to be a normal picture, but Mr. Pichai made some funny changes to this picture using the ‘Nano Banana’ tool. He showed his dog holding a small banana in its paw. This editing was done so cleanly that the picture looked absolutely real. Sharing this funny picture, Mr. Pichai wrote, “Sometimes Gemini’s nano-making abilities are absolutely perfect.
What is this ‘Nano Banana’ tool?
‘Nano Banana’ is a part of Google’s AI model Gemini, which is specially designed to make small and fun changes (playful edits) in pictures. It is probably named ‘Nano’ because it is adept at making very subtle and fine changes in pictures.
Not much technical information has been revealed yet about how this tool works, but it is clear from Sundar Pichai’s post that it uses generative AI. You can probably add fun elements to your pictures by giving commands or selecting something, like putting something in someone’s hand or adding some funny object to the picture.
This feature can be a more advanced or fun-centric version of the ‘Magic Editor’ already present in Google Photos. This move by Google shows that it wants to use AI not only for serious tasks but also to bring laughter and entertainment in the everyday life of the common user. Now it remains to be seen when this tool becomes available to the common people and how creatively people use it.
