Wow, this is quite interesting! I'm curious if these NanoBanana prompts also account for regional nuances in sticker popularity. Like, would a prompt for a 'jeepney' here in the Philippines work as well as, say, a 'yellow cab' in New York in terms of going viral? Just thinking aloud, it's a brilliant concept regardless.
Oh, wow! This is super timely. I've been seeing a lot of those fun AI stickers on Telegram lately, especially the ones with a *kikay* touch. Sometimes I wonder how they get that glossy finish, you know? Definitely keen to try out these NanoBanana prompts. Hopefully, I can make some for our barkada chats! Cheers for sharing!
