I think this is could be my forever meme guy. From Nano Banana…after a lot of banana peeling by human.

Making YouTube thumbnails with AI - Nano Banana and OpenAI

Me: “Make this thumbnail better.” [The one above, which I made.] OpenAI: Me: “Wow! Can you make it so that the catsup bottle is in good shape? That is my work’s brand, so I want it to be good.” Gemini: Me: How about the text is “Adding AI to Internal Developer Platforms” Also, make their faces look happy looking at that catsup. (1) These are amazing, (2) even the robot knows you have to look like an idiot (me, not Tony) for a YouTube thumbnail.

The robot says:

Underwood was the typewriter brand for much of the early 20th century. Hemingway, Stein, and most journalists of the period used machines that looked basically like this. By 1939 they had produced their five-millionth unit, which was unheard of at the time.

Auto-generated description: A man explains a new workflow for creating slides, where AI generates cinematic slides based on a human-written document.

Those Gemini slides and infographics are OK. What would be awesome is deciding as a civilization that we don’t want to handcraft slides and infographics anymore, and we’re cool with just letting the AIs make them based on the documents we write and give to the AIs to make their bad-ass vaporware slides.

(Then I could just say, “cool slide - mind sending me the original doc?")

(Wow,…and, yes, but: holy-fuck, that infographic is good.)
