Google’s artificial intelligence (AI) technology Gemini’s ‘Nano Banana Saree Trend’ is now going viral on social media like Instagram. However, in the midst of this trend, a woman has created a storm of discussion on the internet by sharing a scary experience.
In a video posted on Instagram, the woman said that she also participated in this trend. She uploaded a picture of herself to Gemini and requested to create an edited picture of herself wearing a saree. However, there was something in the created picture that shocked her.
The woman said, ‘When I generated the picture, I saw something very scary. How did Gemini know that I have a mole in this place on my body? It is clearly visible in the picture. It is very scary and uncomfortable. I still don’t understand how it happened. I just want everyone to be aware. Be careful before uploading anything on social media or AI platforms.’
She originally uploaded a picture of herself wearing a full-sleeved salwar-kameez. However, in the picture created by Gemini, she is seen wearing a sari. And under the sari’s hem, the mole on her right hand is visible, which is actually in the same place on her hand.
The video has already received nearly 7 million views and hundreds of comments. Many users say that such an incident has happened to them too. Some say that something is seen in the picture that was not in the original picture.
One user wrote, “Everything is connected to each other now. Gemini is Google, and Google can scan the pictures and videos of our phones. So these pictures are made more accurately.”
Another commented, “This happened to me too. The tattoos on my body, which were not visible in the picture, are also clearly visible in the picture created by Gemini.”
A third person wrote, “This is the work of AI. By analyzing your digital footprint, AI uses your past pictures to create realistic or realistic pictures.”
Another said, “This is a completely technical matter. AI analyzes the images you upload to the internet and creates realistic or realistic images as requested. That’s all.’
What is Nano Banana
Nano Banana is an image editing AI model in Google’s Gemini app. It first gained popularity by creating 3D figure-like edits. Later, it spread to the ‘sari trend’. This trend became popular in various countries including Bangladesh and India.
Through this technology, users can transform their images in such a way that they look as if they are wearing a sari against an ancient or classic backdrop. However, this facility has now become a cause for concern.
As technology provides benefits, awareness is also needed. Experts advise users to be more careful about privacy and security when using such AI tools.
