Not every generated image will be perfect. The model can still struggle with small faces, accurate spelling, and fine details in images. Complex text or intricate facial features may require iteration.
Data Accuracy
The model's real-world knowledge is extensive but not infallible. When generating infographics, annotating diagrams, or representing complex data, it may misinterpret information. Always verify data-driven outputs.
Translation Nuances
Capable of generating and translating text in many languages, but may struggle with grammar, spelling, cultural nuances, or idiomatic phrases. Review translations for accuracy.
Complex Edits
Advanced features like masked editing, major lighting changes (day to night), or blending multiple images may sometimes produce unnatural results, visual artifacts, or disjointed scenes.
Character Consistency
The model excels at character consistency but may not always get it right. Google is working to make this consistency even more reliable across complex workflows.
