    he’s made thousands of dollars

    Thousands, you say? Curious to know how much that comes out to at $/hr of effort, minus the costs of licensing and marketing.

    Why not make an AI-generated girl using Google Gemini’s Nano Banana Pro

    he was dismayed to find that none of the content was hitting. He turned to Gemini for advice.

    Sam says he presented Gemini with a few possible options to help his model stand out, and the chatbot selected one in particular

    This reads more like bait for wanna be scammers than a scam on its face. Just an ad for Gemini.
