Google’s Nano Banana Peels Adobe for Cheaper Photoshop Thrills

On June 7, 2025, beneath the purple-lit Brittany skies, Google unveiled 'Nano Banana,' a photo-editing AI that cheekily snacks on Adobe’s turf by being cheaper or free and packed into the sprawling Google Gemini AI. Business Insider's Hugh Langley bravely tested it by demanding glasses and a red T-shirt—only Nano Banana managed to keep his precious stripes intact, proving it has some manners. Later, Hugh and Alistair Barr got whimsical, conjuring banana boat adventures featuring an unexpected jet ski stalker (personal security or rogue lifeguard?). When Alistair asked Gemini to banish the mystery jet skier, the AI complied, albeit just a tad pixelated — clearly the photo equivalent of a hangover. Bonus: Gemini USAfied Alistair’s smile to bright white teeth, ignoring his UK's modest dental heritage, while slimming Hugh, the sleep-deprived new dad, into 'dad-weight-lost' mode. It’s fast, fun, imperfect, and free—the Swiss Army knife for wannabe Picassos or lazy dads.
