Above's an interaction (see link) I had with Nano Banana trying to create an illustration for a blog post.
Now, I'll be fair - whenever I want to create an image that's non-exact (i.e. I'm willing to accept minor differences in the image from what I expected, which is almost always the case when I'm trying out an LLM that can generate images), Nano Banana *seems* to produce great results.
But the moment I try to produce something to spec, and I cannot tolerate differences (which is almost always the case in a professional setting), Nano Banana performs horribly as you can see here. I asked it to produce a result with exact instructions: "Draw a vector tracing the front foot of the mario on the left to the same point on the front foot of mario on the right" - but still, the output was disastrous. Unless there is a breakthrough in prompt-based image editing, Adobe is not going anywhere in my opinion. Adobe is going to face competition from other players like Canva, but AI is not one of them, at least for now.
