…for months now, every now and then (when in the mood of course : ) I may have browsed perhaps hundreds of graphics made by Google’s Nano Banana model, just to ‘quench’ my curiosity, just to ‘discover’ how far can Nano Banana go to ‘punch Photoshop in its face‘, and even metaphorically, truly amazing – lately, on a Chinese page (Seedance, which, among other models, offers to users Nano Banana too) I’ve found this image, you have to smile, right : )
…I even used my 10 free credits given by Nano Banana, with which you can make up to 3 free images (1 of them I’ will post too, it deserves I think) – to make more with Nano Banana, well you need to subscribe, and it’s not much money perhaps, with the monthly credits you can truly experiment a lot and discover what it really can, but you need to invest also time for that…
…in my case, even if it was 100% free… it can happen I will never open it in 7 months or so, or it can happen sometimes (when in the mood) I may open it 2-3 times weekly, it truly depends : ) the truth is that be it FREE or PAID, in both cases may go UNUSED, believe me, I have 2 paid-unused subscriptions active, never used them, one was and still is Lalai (kinda to split stems)… and then some months before I had subscribed to a video-service and visited it twice, they say is the best one, but I still didn’t use it : )
*** A Chinese AI service, administered by ByteDance (TikTok's parent company), not directly by a separate "Bytedance" entity (that's just a common alternate spelling - same company). ByteDance, the Beijing-based parent company of TikTok and Douyin, has emerged as a dominant force in generative AI with its Seedance platform. Unlike standalone consumer apps, Seedance functions as an integrated model hub, offering users access to multiple AI generation systems - including the widely noted "Nano Banana" image model - under a unified interface. Operated through ByteDance's Jimeng (即梦) and Doubao (豆包) applications, Seedance competes directly with OpenAI's Sora and Google's Veo. The platform gained significant industry attention in early 2026 following the release of Seedance 2.0, which demonstrated unprecedented photorealism and physical accuracy in video generation. Seedance is ByteDance's platform where users can access multiple AI generation models, including their flagship video model and others. Hollywood studios actually sent a formal complaint to ByteDance demanding they stop because users were generating clips with Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, and other copyrighted characters. The Motion Picture Association said Seedance engaged in "unauthorised use of US copyrighted works on a massive scale".
