Pretty sure Nano Banana only produces images.

Nonetheless, ask it to “create an infographic on how Google works”. Do you not see any excitement in the result? I think it’s pretty impressive and has a lot of utility.

As a general content I agree it's a bit off putting, but I find it a lot of fun when generating content among friends like internal jokes and educational content. I got my kid to drink some meds by generating an image of a hero telling him it's important to take.
