Social media trends go back and forth, but some people make strange turns to make people stop and think. The latest ones include Google's Gemini Nano AI. What seems like a fun experiment also raises the risk of uploading photos online.

One such encounter was recently shared on Instagram, where she spoke about her unusual experience with Gemini and warned others about potential privacy issues when using AI tools.

A shocking discovery

In her video, the woman explained that she uploaded her photos in traditional ethnic attire and provided prompts to AI tools to generate sari images. Gemini then created an AI version of her in a sari with a sleeveless blouse. Initially, she was pleased with the outcome and shared her AI image widely across social media.

However, her excitement quickly became “creepy.” She noticed small but important details of the AI-generated images. The mole on her left was not visible in the original photo she uploaded.

“Does Gemini know that there are moles in this part of my body? You can see this moles… this is very scary, very creepy… I still don't know how this happened. I wanted to share this information with everything about you.

How people reacted

The clip attracted a lot of attention as it received over 7 million views. In the comments section, users shared their own stories and speculated on how Gemini could generate such accurate details.

One user said, “Everything is connected, Gemini belongs to Google, Google reads all the photos it stores in Gmail-Photos-drive, and posts and videos on social media are already available in the database.”

Another wrote, “Yes, I realized the same thing,” but someone said, “This happened to me too. I also saw my tattoo that I can't see in my photos. I don't know how it was happening.”

“Well, that's exactly how AI works. AI draws information from digital footprints from every image you upload online. So, when you ask AI to generate an image, it also uses past uploads. The mole is visible in other photos.

IPS Officer Issues Warning

IPS executive VC Sajjanar issued a strong warning about the potential risk of sharing personal information online. He urged people to be cautious and make sure they only upload photos to legitimate websites or certified apps.

“Beware of trending topics on the internet! You'll fall into the trendy trap of “nano bananas.” Sharing your personal information online will result in such fraud. The money in your bank account will be the hands of criminals.”

“Don't share photos or personal information on fake websites or fraudulent apps. You can share fun moments with social media trends, but remember that safety is a top priority,” the executive added.

Sajjanar also reminded users that trends may be temporary, but when data is uploaded to an unconfirmed platform, it can be extremely difficult to retrieve. “These trends come in for a few days and make a fuss. If data gets into fake websites or fraudulent apps, it's hard to get it,” he said.

To highlight the seriousness of the issue, officers tagged various official profiles of the X-Post, including the Prime Minister's Office, India's Cybercrime Coordination Centre, Ministry of Information and Telangana Police.
