Google shot themselves in the leg?

Over censoring and a moderation system that has been wildly inconsistent has made Gemini's image gen AI tools more unreliable as days goes by. While other competitors have made leaps in improving their image gen quality, Google's ability to keep up practically dissipated over the past year and has so far stagnated with no significant improvements. They began tightening the screws sometime around the Grok unfiltered image gen fiasco hit the threads and while other companies created workarounds over time, it seems that Google basically did the equivalent of a snail retreating into its shell and refusing to come out.

I am all for a safe and ethical use of AI especially when it comes to generating images that are realistic, however, restricting use of Nano Banana (which currently and arguably is Gemini's strongest tool) will only drive users away.

Just a short opinion piece of mine, would love to hear from more experienced users in this sub-reddit
