AI For Humans: Making Artificial Intelligence Fun & Practical

ChatGPT Images (aka OpenAI's Image 1.5) can create stunning AI images, text and more. But how does it compare to Google's Nanobanana Pro? We dive in… way too deep. Plus, new GPT-5.2 Codex, Gemini 3 Flash, YouTube's new vibecoded games, the controversy around Generative AI and game developer Larian Studios, a lego-like robot and, of course, seeing how AI video can cause soap opera actress hair to endlessly grow. IT'S YET ANOTHER WEEK OF NEW RELEASES! AND WE DON'T STOP.

OpenAI's Sam Altman has called a 'Code Red' at the AI giant as Google Gemini 3 might be overtaking them. But new models 'Garlic' and 'Shallotpeat' might leapfrog them back in front. Plus, Kling's new O1 and Video 2.6 AI video models are both good and, well, not so good. And Runway Gen 4.5 seems interesting but not out to everyone yet. Meanwhile, Sora 2 users are busy generating fake clips of 'Bird Game 3' and Chinese robotics start-up EngineAI brings forth their T-800 model which might as well be The Terminator. IS IT TIME TO FREAK OUT ABOUT ROBOTS? MAYBE. MAYBE IT IS.   Get notified when AndThen launches: https://andthen.chat/ Come to our Discord to try our Secret Project: https://discord.gg/muD2TYgC8f Join our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/AIForHumansShow AI For Humans Newsletter: https://aiforhumans.beehiiv.com/ Follow us for more on X @AIForHumansShow Join our TikTok @aiforhumansshow To book us for speaking, please visit our website: https://www.aiforhumans.show/   // Show Links // OpenAI's 'Code Red' To Battle Gemini Progress https://www.theinformation.com/articles/openai-ceo-declares-code-red-combat-threats-chatgpt-delays-ads-effort?rc=c3oojq&shared=09f911ca8bc5c944 More on CodeRed: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/dec/02/sam-altman-issues-code-red-at-openai-as-chatgpt-contends-with-rivals OpenAI Chief Research Mark Chen Discusses Gemini 3 & new models https://x.com/ashleevance/status/1995644118362718528?s=20 OpenAI New Models Garlic & Shallotpeat https://www.theinformation.com/articles/openai-developing-garlic-model-counter-googles-recent-gains?rc=c3oojq&shared=fb95c0bf1c900288 Kling 01 Model: Very Good AI Editing https://x.com/Kling_ai/status/1995506929461002590?s=20 Gavin's Football Tests https://x.com/gavinpurcell/status/1995877894342803656?s=20 Kling 2.6 with voice!

Gemini Pro 3 and Nano Banana Pro push Google into the lead in the race for AGI. Meanwhile, OpenAI isn't far behind with GPT-5.1 Pro & Codex Max. The AI news is relentless! Nano Banana Pro's ability to make infographics and edit images is nearly unprecedented and, combined with Gemini 3's analytical abilities, makes us feel all tingly inside. Web design, vibe coded games, there is so much cool stuff to get into. Plus, OpenAI's updates GPT-5.1 and a cool new tool from Meta called Segment Anything 3. And, of course, who could forget the cutest lil robots. No terminators today folks! TIME TO NANO BANANA OURSELVES INTO OBLIVION. WAIT, THAT SOUNDED BAD.

OpenAI released GPT-5.1 with updates to vision, ChatGPT personalities and, most importantly, vibes while Google's Nanobanana 2 and Gemini 3 Pro gently start leaking incredible results.   Plus, Disney is ok with AI content on Disney+, Grok Imagine gets a big update, a very cool new 3D world simulator from World Labs, the number one song country song right now is an AI music creation and, in China, they're cooking up Xenomorphs. WE'RE GETTING TO THE GOOD STUFF NOW BABY!
