Gemini will scan the video's visuals and audio for Google's proprietary watermark called SynthID. The response will be more than a yes or no, Google says. Gemini will point out specific times when the watermark appears in the video or audio. The company rolled out this capability for images in November, also limited to images made or edited with Google AI.
Google is not just blowing smoke-the new image generator is much better. Its grasp of the world and the nuance of language is apparent, producing much more realistic results. Even before this, AI images were getting so good that it could be hard to spot them at a glance. Gone are the days when you could just count fingers to identify AI. Google is making an effort to help identify AI content, though.
Google just took the wraps off Nano Banana Pro (Gemini 3 Pro Image), its improved image generation and editing model built on Gemini 3 Pro that promises to "turn your visions into studio-quality designs with unprecedented control, flawless text rendering, and enhanced world knowledge." That's a step up from those hyperrealistic 3D figurines that caused the original image model to go viral in September, shortly after its launch. Best of all, it's free to try globally starting today inside the Gemini app by selecting "Create image" with the "Thinking" model.
