00:11A viral AI photo editing feature powered by Google's Gemini Nano model lets users

00:17transform their pictures into elegant saree portraits with vintage backdrops.

00:22Instagram user Jhalak Bhavanani, after trying the trend, alleged that Gemini AI

00:26generated an image showing a mole on her left arm. She said that she has a mole on her right arm but

00:32claimed it wasn't visible in the photo she uploaded as she was wearing full sleeves.

00:36This is very scary.

00:37As the video went viral, viewers questioned whether Gemini had somehow tapped into personal photos

00:42from Gmail, Google Drive or social media. Others suggested the result could be linked to an earlier

00:48image she uploaded where the mole was visible. Bhavanani later uploaded another video addressing
