A tech professional from Bengaluru has started an important discussion about the possible misuse of artificial intelligence in India. He showed how Google’s new AI tool, called Nano Banana, can be used to make highly realistic fake identity cards. These include copies of PAN cards and Aadhaar cards, which are the main identity documents used across the country.

The techie, Harveen Singh Chadha, created identity cards with the name “Twitterpreet Singh” using the AI tool. He then shared the results online to show people how dangerous this technology can be if used incorrectly. According to him, the fake IDs looked extremely real, almost impossible to tell apart from genuine documents.

Sharing his concern on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Harveen wrote that Nano Banana is a powerful tool, but that is exactly why it can be risky. He warned that the accuracy of these AI-generated documents is so high that traditional methods of image verification will not be able to detect the difference. He said, “The legacy image verification systems are doomed to fail.”

After his post went viral, many users joined the conversation. People started discussing the need for better regulations, stronger security measures, and more advanced verification systems to deal with new challenges that come with AI.

One user mentioned that Google’s Gemini adds hidden digital signatures called SynthID to AI-generated images, which can be detected through the Gemini app. But Harveen argued that in real life, no one is going to check every Aadhaar card using the Gemini scanner.

Another user responded by saying that fake cards would not match official Aadhaar database records, since the government now uses QR-style codes and digital verification. However, Harveen raised a practical question: “When you show your Aadhaar card at a hotel or airport, do they actually scan it?” Many people agreed that most places simply take a quick look or a photocopy, without proper verification.

A third user added that real verification means checking the details against a trusted database and that just looking at a card visually is not a reliable method. The debate highlights a growing concern: as AI becomes more advanced, the risk of misuse also increases, and India may need stronger security measures to protect identity systems in the digital era.
