Is this why the Google product (now just called Gemini) was called that?
- godelski 1y agoI don't know if anyone has officially said so but there was a public statement about it being chosen as a reference to story telling (Celtic language). So could be for similar reasons or could be a reference. Not surprising considering how famous the story is and how famous Asimov is. But maybe someone else knows more definitively.
- andrewflnr 1y agoCeltic? The name "Gemini" is much, much, much better known from Greek myth, if it occurs in Celtic culture at all...
- strken 1y agoGemini was originally called Bard. That's what thenoblesunfish was asking about: the original name, not the new one.
- godelski 1y agoHere, I'll rephrase thenoblesunfish for clarity, because you seem to have misread > Is this why the Google product (now just called Gemini) was called [Bard]? "That" == "Bard". They weren't referring to Gemini, which is why there's that whole thing in parentheses stating it's *now* called Gemini From Wiki | The technology was developed under the codename "Atlas", with the name "Bard" in reference to the Celtic term for a storyteller and chosen to "reflect the creative nature of the algorithm underneath".
