Google’s latest breakthrough, Gemini 2.5 Flash Image—nicknamed “Nano Banana”—is reshaping what’s possible in digital art and beyond.

Imagine building entire fantasy worlds or accelerating scientific research without the traditional costs and time sinks.But with this power comes profound questions: How do we handle the risks of fakes, hallucinations, and lost trust in what we see? What happens to human artists when machines can produce in seconds what once took weeks?In this episode of IA Odyssey, we dive into the promises and perils of Gemini 2.5 Flash Image, exploring how it may democratize creativity, shift the role of artists, and force us all to rethink authenticity in the age of AI.Original content generated with the help of Google’s NotebookLM.
