FYI, this is the famed nano-banana model which has been now renamed to gemini-2.5-flash-image-preview in LMArena.

Wow I hate the ‘voice’ in that article - big if true though.

I suspect the "voice" is a language model with a bad system prompt. (Possibly the author's own words run through an LLM, to be charitable.)

It's medium.com. YouTube comments quality text packaged as clickbait articles for some revenue share. It was always slop, even without LLMs. Do they even bother with paying human authors now or is the entire site just generated? That would probably be cheaper and improve quality.

I mean they are going to have to rename their AI because gemini.com is going to IPO soon.

"Banana" would be a nice name for their AI, and they could freely claim it's bananas.

I thought Medium was a stuck up blogging platform. Other than for paid subscriptions, why would they pay bloggers? Are they trying to become the next HuffPost or something?
