  • Soy estudiante del área de la salud. He usado Image 2 para hacer infografías sobre enfermedades y encuentro que es débil para hacer imágenes visualmente didácticas (a mi gusto), con Nano Banana puedo moldear más el estilo visual. Sin embargo, el GRAN potencial que veo es la escritura, definición de letras, ortografía y orden (Nano Banana me falla en esto). Por ahora, estoy combinando las 2 herramientas y me va de maravilla, puedo hacer infografías visualmente didácticas, entretenidas y con gran precisión tipográfica y médica. (Uso la versión Pro en ambos casos)

  • Looks like OpenAI finally dropped a good image model. That said, I still prefer NB Pro for the realism, whilst GPT looks cinematic rather than realistic (if that makes sense)

  • brother, the whole tutorial is amazing, perfectly explained, but the intro is so cinematic, you could make a whole AI movie. Congrats for your patience in doing this for us, I created my character so easily by following this tutorial!

  • Sinceramente, no sé de inteligencia artificial como vosotros, pero me da la sensación que a ChatGPT le están comiendo la tostada por todos los lados desde hace unos meses.

  • So Image understood what 35mm from helicopter means, and where the roof is, but Nano Banana Pro copied the logo and understands humor with ground hogs hanging on?

  • ChatGPT for "I need something I haven't seen before." Nano Banana for "I need this specific thing changed without touching the rest." Different tools for different jobs — I use both now.

  • Gemini is weaker on spatial coordinates, but stronger on the understanding of physics. Also the plate by Gemini has numbers on it, but the one by ChatGPT is gibberish. I also prefer how Gemini handles color and the realism of snow falling on the hood
