I'm way behind in imagegen - only using it occasionally for roleplaying tokens, goofing around, and random personal assets. To me, this is nuts. It's able to create images in like 2 seconds... before with chatgpt it would take 30s-1m for the same quality image. I don't get the negative comments here

ChatGPT detail is a lot better though. You can do stuff like complex 6-panel comics that Nano Banana can't match.

Also a lot of the negative comments are from people who hate the very idea of AI art and want it to fail.

Different use cases.

People making images, where the image is the focal point, want to spend more per image.

Where images are parts of reports or throwaways or demos, cheap is the better approach.
