Yes, you are not literally playing an RPG.

Somehow I thought that would be obvious? Do I really have to preface every bit of AI-related content with a disclaimer that you should not take everything I say pain-stakingly, excruciatingly literal? Was "1 frame a minute" not the slightest hint that I didn't literally believe I was playing a game? Can't we just get to a point where we look at the tech and say "Hey, it's good enough that it's almost like I'm playing with a game, and that's just a natural side-effect of the model being good? Isn't that neat?" Or are you going to well-actually any admission of excitement or interest with "No, you are not excited, it is not a TRUE game, it isn't a 100% accurate simulacrum of a real game!"

Do you really, truly not understand any sense of metaphor or simile? Did you point at Asteroids when it came out and say "this is not the same as being on a spaceship!" Did you look at the first animated movie and say "This isn't the real world!" Obviously this isn't a game! It's its own thing, and whatever it is seems kind of cool.

> Finally, most important of all, did you have fun?

Yes, I did.

Maybe instead of a title that says

    Nano Banana is so good that you can use it to play a RPG at 1 frame a minute

Say instead

    Nano Banana is so good that you can use it to "play" a RPG at 1 frame a minute

Because, you see, GP is not the only one who clicked the link with the expectation that the LLM was actually giving you an RPG game to play @ 1 frame/minute.

But obviously not? Who could possibly think that?? Bah, no, I understand your point, and I will have to think more critically about my titles in the future.

I think, as a general principle, if you're asking for people's attention, you should say what you actually mean. In this case, you used an inaccurate headline to get views, adding no new information beyond what you yourself claim as 'obvious'.

I think it's reasonable for people to react badly to that.

Who reasonably believes that you can "play a game at 1 frame a minute" on Nano Banana? Isn't that a truly absurd claim, one stronger than "AGI has been achieved"? Is it really that unreasonable to ask my audience to think for half a second about what I might actually be claiming, given the literal interpretation of my words is absurd?

It feels like if I made a title saying "Make page loads feel instant" and everyone came in to say "actually no, in your post it took 0.2 seconds to load your page, and that's not instant."
