The Gemini AI saree trend is taking Instagram by storm, as people transform simple selfies into vintage Bollywood-style portraits. The AI tool behind this is Google Gemini Nano Banana, which generates dramatic images of floating sarees with soft lighting against a cinematic background.
Why are users embracing this trend? Many are posting selfies in classic 90s-style sarees, enhanced by golden-hour lighting and grainy film effects. With the help of AI tools, hyper-realistic images can now be created within seconds using simple prompts.
Popular requests include black sarees, polka dot sarees, red elegant sarees, and yellow chiffon sarees in romantic settings. This blend of nostalgia and technology is capturing the attention of a broad audience.
Despite the beauty of the pictures, privacy experts warn that there are dangers associated with these AI tools. Some users have noticed strange changes in their AI images.
For example, Instagrammer Jhalakbhawani said the AI added a mole on her hand that wasn’t in the original photo. These changes raise concerns about the extent to which AI tools can recognize personal images.
Google tries to protect users with invisible SynthID watermarks and metadata tags in AI images. These tags are meant to label images as AI-generated. However, most users cannot see or verify the existence of the watermark, and the detection tools are not publicly available.
Experts believe watermarks alone cannot protect photos because they may be stripped off or faked. UC Berkeley professor Hany Farid explained that combining watermarks with other tools can make it harder for fake images to spread.
Experts suggest simple steps to keep photos safe while enjoying the trend. Avoid uploading very personal or private images. Remove location and device information before sharing. Check privacy settings to control who can see pictures. Keep original copies of photos to spot changes or misuse. Read the platform’s terms to know how photos might be used.
IPS officer VC Sajjanar also warned about fake Gemini apps that can steal personal information. Users should only use official tools and share images carefully.
The Gemini AI saree trend shows how AI can make social media fun and creative. It brings nostalgia and art to selfies. However, this trend also highlights the importance of being cautious online. Stunning AI edits are fun, but privacy and safety come first. Users should enjoy the trend while following all the necessary safety practices.
