I deleted all my photos online, the day I saw nano banana. A lot of people called me paranoid, but this technology just seemed too dangerous. I am now also seeing open source models catch up with them, which was the exact thing I was scared of.

Does it scare y'all too? Especially open source part?

The cool thing of AI deepfake, is that everyone can make-it.
Before you would need to know how to use photoshop, and even before photography technique to forge image.

Nowadays, even the boomer racist uncle, and the high-schooler niece can do it. It's great because people will think twice when seeing an image, making them less dangerous.

Or I'm just naive
