Nano Banana Pro for the premium edition introduces a new frontier in visual authenticity. With this tool, you can fabricate images of yourself attending a glamorous event or vacationing abroad, even if you’ve never set foot in those places. While this might seem innocuous, it also allows for the creation of images depicting others in locations they’ve never visited or engaging in activities they haven’t participated in — which could lead to complications.

Since the inception of AI-generated images that possess a degree of realism, there has been growing apprehension regarding potential outcomes. This unease has only intensified as the technology evolves, with analysts claiming that Nano Banana is nearly indistinguishable from actual life. Detractors argue that Google has not taken sufficient measures to address potentially harmful applications associated with its technology, despite the existence of explicit policies prohibiting the use of their model for impersonating individuals without their consent.

Discovery have voiced legal concerns regarding the unauthorized use of their work (or intellectual property) by AI. Instances of AI-generated fictitious evidence have even begun appearing in legal proceedings.
