Google’s new Nano Banana Pro uses Gemini 3 power to generate more realistic AI images
Detect less sloppy waste
Google isn’t just blowing smoke: the new image generator is much better. His understanding of the world and the nuances of language is evident, producing much more realistic results. Even before that, the AI images were getting so good that it was hard to spot them at a glance. Gone are the days when counting fingers was enough to identify AI. Google is, however, working to help identify AI content.
Images generated with Nano Banana Pro continue to have embedded SynthID watermarks that Google’s tools can detect. The company is also adding more C2PA metadata to further label AI images. The Gemini app is also part of this effort. From now on, you can upload an image and ask something like “Is this AI?” » The app won’t detect just any old AI image, but it will tell you if it’s a Google AI product by checking SynthID.
Gemini can now detect its own AI images.
At the same time, Google is making it slightly harder for people to know that an image was generated with AI. Knowing that professionals may want to generate images with Nano Banana Pro, Google has removed the visible watermark from images for AI Ultra subscribers. These images still have SynthID, but only the lower levels have the Gemini flicker in the corner.
While everyone can access the new Nano Banana Pro today, AI Ultra subscribers will benefit from the highest usage limits. Gemini Pro users will have a little less access and free users will get the lowest limits before starting to the non-pro version.
