Sundar Pichai Joins Viral Gemini AI Trend
New trends in artificial intelligence (AI) are making waves on social media, and the latest buzz is around Google Gemini AI’s “Nano Banana” feature. Google CEO Sundar Pichai himself joined the viral trend, posting a 3D figurine-style image of himself, calling it a fun addition to Gemini’s creative tools.
Pichai quipped, “Now consider that 5 billion and 1,” after Josh Woodward, VP of Google Labs, revealed that Gemini has generated over 5 billion images in just one month.
What is the Nano Banana 3D Figurine Trend?
The Nano Banana feature of Gemini AI allows users to transform selfies, family photos, pets, or nature shots into miniature figurine-style artworks. The results resemble collectible 3D figurines, complete with acrylic bases and packaging-box mockups.
This quirky trend has quickly spread across Instagram, X (Twitter), and TikTok, with users posting their “baby versions” or miniaturized avatars.
Google’s Official Sample Prompt
Google even shared a sample prompt for creating these figurines:
👉 “Create a 1/7 scale commercialized figurine of the characters in the picture, in a realistic style, in a real environment. The figurine is placed on a computer desk with a transparent acrylic base. The packaging is styled like a collectible toy box with original artwork and flat illustrations.”
This prompt has been widely reposted by creators experimenting with the feature.
Why It’s Trending
The Nano Banana trend is not just about fun photo edits—it highlights the creative power of AI tools and how they’re shaping digital experiences. With billions of AI images already generated, Gemini’s latest feature shows how AI + pop culture = viral success.
