Let's talk tech. Google's new nano -banana AI
imaging platform is raising concerns about the
trustworthiness of online photos, with its ability
to seamlessly edit existing images to add elements
that were never there. While it still struggles
with generating new images, its potential for
misinformation is alarming, as it could convincingly
alter visuals in seconds. For instance, an edited
photo of a campaign rally could misrepresent
attendance numbers. Moreover, tests on historical
events, like the moon landing, reveal how easily
nano -banana could create convincing fakes. As
this technology evolves, users must remain skeptical
of visuals and prioritize media literacy. And
in entertainment news. In a powerful new film,
Steve, Killian Murphy, portrays an inspirational

themes of aggression and redemption, featuring
