Google's ridiculously cheap image gen model, can someone like me running a B&B actually use it?

Saw a post saying Google dropped a lightweight image model. Generates one image in four seconds, and a thousand images cost like three cents. Even a non-tech guy like me is tempted. I usually make promo pics for rooms, breakfast, and nearby scenery. Hiring a photographer is expensive and slow, and using regular AI tools to generate one by one is a pain.

At this price, it’s a whole different game. I can batch out hundreds of versions and pick the best, or give each room type a set of different styles. Before, I’d never dare to burn through resources like that. Also heard there’s something where you can edit videos by talking to it—short video editing is a must-have for us B&B owners.

Of course, speed-first means quality takes a hit. For fine-tuned big shots, I’ll still need other tools. But for high-volume daily work, this price is a steal.

Damn, that price really smashed the entry barrier to pieces.

For making a ton of images for a homestay, this is perfect.

Being able to edit a video just by talking to it sounds way more convenient.

Cheap is cheap, but you gotta try it to know if the output quality’s any good.

I also want to generate a set of images for each room type.

Totally agree with OP.

Just a homestay owner passing through. Cheap image generation is great, but for room layout photos, you still gotta start with real shots. If it’s all AI-generated, guests will get a shock when they actually show up.
