Everyone expected the next big leap in AI to be smarter chat models… instead it was image editing Nano Banana blew up because it solved the one thing every creator struggled with: clean, controlled edits without breaking the image It can: - swap objects without distortion - fix colours without ruining lighting - keep faces consistent - edit clothes, backgrounds and details perfectly No re-generating. No losing the original. No weird hands It made visual creation accessible, even for people with zero design skills—so naturally millions adopted it in weeks. In your opinion… is Nano Banana just the start, or will editing become the main use of AI for most people?

AI visuals are hitting a point where a simple prompt can produce scenes that look like this — perfect lighting, accurate shadows, natural clothing folds, weather reflections, even city details that feel alive The gap between “generated” and “shot in the real world” is basically gone. What used to require a full camera crew, a model, a £200/hr location and a supercar… is now created in seconds Nano Banana Pro is making realism almost unfair. Upload your reference, write one clean sentence… and it just gets it right. Tattoos, weather, fabric texture, reflections on the car — everything is consistent I’m uploading this image as well to show how far realism has gone. Let me know if you want the exact prompt I used

Here’s the new ultra-realistic skin test using MidJourney V7. This one was built with Profile 5mwblry and Profile 5aj4dnk, both stacked to push texture accuracy and golden-tone lighting. Prompt : "Editorial style portrait of a woman of color, medium shot, focus on her face. Elegant composition, soft golden natural light, glowing realistic skin with visible pores and fine texture, subtle facial lines and highlights. Warm tones, natural expression. Photographed in the style of Petra Collins raw, intimate aesthetic, gentle shadow play, minimalism, soft pastel tones, low contrast, fine film grain, natural color grading. Light, airy background, calm and refined atmosphere, hyper-realistic, high resolution. --raw --profile 5mwblry 5aj4dnk --stylize 500" The prompt focused on keeping everything raw and intimate: glowing realistic skin, visible pores, clean texture, fine highlights, gentle shadow play, soft natural tones and subtle film grain These two profiles together created the exact cinematic skin realism we want inside AI Visual Lab — no plastic shine, no over-smoothing, just high-end editorial detail with natural depth. If you want to break down how these profiles affect tone, texture and lighting, comment below and I’ll show the workflow step by step

Something I’ve learned over the last year: Most people use AI as a single tool… but the real power comes when you use AIs together. If you’ve ever felt like ChatGPT gives good answers but misses depth — or Perplexity gives great research but lacks creativity — here’s the method that fixes it: The 2-AI “Relay Method” Use one AI for deep thinking, and another for execution. Step 1 — Perplexity for the Research Brain Ask Perplexity to create a detailed research report with sources. Examples: • “Deepsearch the latest AI business models for 2025–2026” • “Research 20 monetizable workflows using image + video AI” • “Analyse what’s working in content right now in my niche” You get clarity, data and direction. Step 2 — ChatGPT for the Action Brain Paste the research into ChatGPT and tell it to: • turn it into strategies • build workflows • write scripts, content, plans • convert theory into something you can actually use Now you have execution, not just information. Step 3 — (Optional) A third AI for production Like MidJourney, Runway, Claude, or Gemini → use the plan you got to actually build the output. This simple workflow turns one hour of research into something that feels like you hired a whole team. AI alone is powerful. But AI + AI + AI is how you get the unfair advantage. Curious — has anyone else here tried combining multiple AIs together? What’s been your experience so far?

Today, I wanted to create something from the heart Veterans Day isn’t just a date on the calendar — it’s a reminder of courage, sacrifice and the quiet strength of those who served. Some came home changed. Some didn’t come home at all. And many continue to carry the weight of their service long after the uniform comes off I made these images to reflect gratitude, humanity and love — not just the soldier, but the person. The father. The mother. The friend. The mentor. The hero in everyday clothes No filters, no glorification — just respect To every veteran: Thank you for your strength. Thank you for your sacrifice. Thank you for showing us what service truly means. We see you. We honor you. We remember you. ❤️
