The Nano Banana<\/a> AI image trend has gone viral online. It lets people turn normal photos into hyper-realistic mini 3D figurines. However, numerous social media users are now accusing it of ignoring prompts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The AI trend<\/a> is powered by Google\u2019s Gemini 2.5 Flash Image tool. Users can create \u201cmini-me\u201d versions of themselves or pets as toys. They can also create fantasy avatars with packaging that looks like real products.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The craze has spread because it\u2019s free and needs no technical skill. Social media influencers and creators are using it across Instagram, TikTok and Twitter (now X).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n However, many people have started complaining about it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cGave a detailed style-transfer prompt (N64\/low\u2011poly characters, keep the sky\/background, etc.), but Nano Banana makes no changes \u2014 the output looks like a lightly recompressed original. Other models (flux-1-kontext, qwen-image-edit) actually stylise correctly,\u201d alleged a Reddit user.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cThe longer I use it, the more disappointed I am. I think it may be due to Google’s strict security policy. After integrating with Gemini, nano-banana is no longer nano-banana. It has been weakened too much,\u201d wrote another user on Reddit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Another user commented, \u201cI tried style transfer, and I don’t think the model can do it. You can transfer characters, though.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cThe stability of nano-banana is really a joke,\u201d commented another.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cI get that as well sometimes. Don’t know whats the reason. I tried to generate me pixel art from image, it just returned the same image. Now I’m wondering whether it can even work with generating very specific images or its use is more like image editing (like Photoshop),\u201d came from another.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Another user complained, \u201cI’ve tried using a 9:16 frame as input, no luck. Tried an image, same. Tried explicitly asking for 9:16, 1080x1920px, same. It’s so frustrating that l struggle so much with dimensions. ChatGPT<\/a> has the same problem.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
