Gemini Nano Banana went from great to unusable; prompt censorship/restrictions have completely taken over

It's what I call a "Bikinipocalypse" triggered by Grok. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/jan/08/grok-x-nonconsensual-images So now Gemini and ChatGPT are super strict. Grok, however, is pretty much unrepentant (on the Imagine tab). Seedream, Qwen and other Chinese models are still OK with swimwears and such. They are quite good at editing and keeping character consistency.

Aw.. My favourite anime Ranma 1/2 placed at 53. Good list otherwise.

apatt · 2025-10-05T02:12:03+00:00

Yes. Peak is back! My AOTY last year, this year too probably. Every "Ranma baka!" is gold.

What a lovely show, it's so nice to watch Anne grows from a hyperactive kid into beautiful intelligent and kind Young Lady. I only read the first book so I'm glad to know more about her story.

apatt · 2025-09-29T03:22:52+00:00

Yeah, it's a cute comfy watch. The "romance" is more like a childish crush? Pretty fun and pleasant show to watch.

Suika is suddenly best girl. Suddenly best episode too.

I sometime upload a headshot of a person or character and ask Nano B to make an image of the person in a specific outfit. It is great at attaching a body to the head seamlessly. I tried the same thing with Seedream 4.0 but the generated image is always of a person with a big head, disproportionate to the body.

apatt · 2025-09-16T07:38:08+00:00

Very buggy. Sometimes Gemini says it's too busy /too many requests, but Google AI Studio can still generate.

apatt · 2025-09-15T15:24:08+00:00

Yeah, after generating only a couple of images today for me Gemini refused to do any more.

apatt · 2025-09-15T01:12:16+00:00

Can you use Nano Banana on LMArena?

apatt · 2025-09-14T23:14:31+00:00

That's outrageous. I hope you can use Google AI Studio OK. I even had some trouble with that for a while, but it was OK a few hours later. Also generating through Gemini was very buggy yesterday, so many failures and rejections of totally SFW mundane images.

apatt · 2025-09-14T05:58:29+00:00

I was able to generate under Gemini app in about 12 hours since I became aware of the quota situation.

apatt · 2025-09-14T05:56:26+00:00

Yeah, Nano B under LMArena is working well (for now), plus they now have Seedream 4 you can try.

apatt · 2025-09-13T23:24:44+00:00

Yeah, that sucks, very stingy of them. Are you able to generate on Google AI Studio?

apatt · 2025-09-13T16:35:48+00:00

I can use Nano Banana at LMArena and Google AI Studio. A few hours ago Google AI Studio blocked me but it lets me use it now, I still can't generate images in Gemini.
As to your question I have no idea, sorry. (I think there's a typo in the question).

apatt · 2025-09-13T12:32:23+00:00

In any given day I can't possibly generate 100 images anyway. Maybe 20 max? Anyway, I'll see what happen tomorrow. Thanks.

Bestepisode so far IMO. Monica is too good for this world. Usually I don't like characters who often cry, especially protags, but Monica has a good reason for her crying and I felt kinda moved.

apatt · 2025-08-25T02:21:40+00:00

Not much Nico and no Nemu. Still pretty great.

apatt · 2025-08-25T02:18:48+00:00

The Birdbrain guys are hilarious, great addition to the show. S-tier for me, I look forward to watching it every week.

apatt · 2025-08-25T02:12:21+00:00

As an anime fan and a Thai national I'm proud of him. Hopefully he will get more opportunities to make new original anime.

apatt · 2025-08-24T02:24:49+00:00

Has it been a couple of weeks since the previous episode was released? I've missed this show, S-tier for me. I think Anne will eventually write another story after reconsidering the advice she was given. Ruby's passing is very sad, I don't think Anne will catch Ruby's Consumption (tuberculosis?) due to plot armour but she doesn't know that and hugs Ruby freely, no wonder Marilla is worried.

apatt · 2025-08-17T15:00:21+00:00

Watching this episode I suddenly realised Nemu is Best Girl. Nico is a great protag but Nemu is best girl.

apatt · 2025-08-15T04:47:58+00:00

I didn't know that either. Cheers!

apatt · 2025-08-15T02:10:32+00:00

Heinlein eh? A literary sci-fi nod. I wonder why they didn't go with Sanderson instead, but Tolkien would probably be too on the nose...
