MATT PLEASE DO A video on use cases on how these models can and are helping blind and low vision users. I'm completely blind and this has opened new worlds and avenues for me. Even the free plans are great, but more people need to hear how it can help them.

That man to wolf morphing in Kling is wild. Imagine trying to manually animate that 5 or 10 years ago.

Nano Banana has been my most favorite thing Google has produced. It's actually been very useful to me especially with it being free. It's generated close to realistic images that retains faces pretty damn well. It has multiple issues, so I have to regenerate occasionally and if I continue the chat the quality gets worse after a few prompts. But... It's really really good initially. I asked it to put me in a car, shot from the front and it gave me a image where I was like 10ft away in the driver seat with sun glare, reflections and rain drops on the windshield, my face was low quality as it would be, but still retained enough details to look like me. This could be used in so many ways.. AI gets better day by day and then something new gets added to the array the next week.

Imagine game devs making real-world locations with real-world interiors from walkthroughs and generating them.

Am I the only one that's ever dreamed of watching Battlestar Galactica in Latin?
