Nano F*cking Banana

General
Alright, guys... Nano Banana Pro came out recently, and for those who don't know, it's yet another AI image generator, but this version is terrifyingly advanced. I've seen some showcase examples, and they literally look like actual photos - I couldn't find any usual signs of AI there, which is extremely concerning. If this thing spreads without regulations, we're cooked - we'll literally have to question every picture we see.
So why am I bringing this up? Well, as an artist who does commissions, I feel like it's my responsibility to be transparent with my clients, especially with the new ones. So I was thinking of providing a speedpaint of the sketch as proof of legitimacy. I wouldn't be able to provide the speedpaint of the whole process, since the video file would take up a lot of space, and also because I usually draw step by step while consulting with the client, but I think that the speedpaint of the sketch would be optimal. The sketch is literally the foundation of the whole work, and I can actually provide it before receiving payment, so the client will be able to be sure that they're not getting scammed. On the other hand... I feel like I shouldn't owe people a confirmation that I'm not a scammer, and I would feel quite a lot of pressure knowing that I'm recording my screen while I'm drawing (I hate when someone is watching me draw).
So what do you think? Should I provide my clients with the sketch speedpaint or not? Or maybe I should ask them if they want the speedpaint first?

I think yoou could provide screenshots of the working environment, layers turned off and on in ways only the artist could. Can't do that easily with AI.
