I suspect this is happening due to the nano-banana image model becoming available to the general public. As a designer/artist, the generative image models’ impact on my field has been disastrous and depressing. For the average person, it’s the greatest thing they’ve ever seen.

I can only imagine it's worse. Exact precision is not as important and tiny mistakes are much more acceptable in most images. And then modifying the image afterward to fix mistakes is simpler than fixing code.
