Yep, I was totally nerd-sniped by the image. I've never seen an engineer draw a whiteboard diagram anywhere near that detailed and tidy. No acronyms, consistent title case, descenders on a baseline - everything about it is wrong. It's so counter to reality, I seriously wondered if it was a joke.

The Nano Banana team should be pissed Google PR is distributing such a terrible photo. The poses are stilted, expressions frozen, even the eye-lines are off. Why couldn't they just use a Google Pixel phone to snap a photo of real Google engineers in a real Google office and upload it to Google Photos? Not Google enough?

I have seen such detailed and tidy whiteboard diagrams, but the catch is that they never occur in active discussion. It doesn't make room for scribbling, and stopping a discussion for 5-10 minutes to draw slowly and nicely doesn't make sense...

True, no one can understand my whiteboard drawings the next day, not even I.

Perfect operational security!

I think the logic follows: If we are already staging a scene just for PR purposes as was usually done then why not generate it using AI?

[mrandish]

I actually didn't full-stop on it because I thought it was AI. For the first few seconds I thought it was a staged photo. I was nerd-sniped because it was staged so badly.

This is why we need smart glasses recording everything you see 24/7 to gather relevant real training data.
