Is Generative AI finally ready for Data Science? 📊
or a long time, AI image generators have been great for art but terrible for data. The text is usually gibberish, and the numbers are often made up.
Today, I tested the new Nano Banana Pro (Gemini) to see if it solves these problems. I put it through three specific stress tests relevant to my work:
1️⃣ The Concept Test: Visualizing a "Vector Database." Result: It understood the qualitative relationships and—crucially—spelled the labels perfectly.
2️⃣ The Real-Data Test: Searching Google for live stock prices. Result: It didn't hallucinate. It fetched real-time data and plotted an accurate trend line.
3️⃣ The Workflow Test: Video-to-Infographic. Result: I gave it a YouTube URL, and it generated a step-by-step visual guide based on the video content.
The Verdict: The gap between "Generative Art" and "Data Visualization" is closing. For educators and founders, having a tool that understands logic and writes accurate text is a massive productivity boost.
