Is ChatGPT catching up to nano banana when it comes to AI photo generations?

I started my finance channel with some long form videos that didn’t perform well at all.

So I pivoted to making shorts to see if I can get some traction and just accumulate some moral wins. I did that and started making long form videos again.

My first video since then has over 300 views in 2 days and 27 hours of watch time.

Not too bad I’m excited to keep building!
