OpenAI's New AI Image Model is here! But… Can It Beat Nano Banana Pro?

ChatGPT Images (aka OpenAI's Image 1.5) can create stunning AI images, text and more. But how does it compare to Google's Nanobanana Pro? We dive in… way too deep.

Plus, new GPT-5.2 Codex, Gemini 3 Flash, YouTube's new vibecoded games, the controversy around Generative AI and game developer Larian Studios, a lego-like robot and, of course, seeing how AI video can cause soap opera actress hair to endlessly grow. IT'S YET ANOTHER WEEK OF NEW RELEASES! AND WE DON'T STOP.
