      It's not a very creative name. Just look at the list just Wikipedia has for what the name might possibly refer to:

      @bagder Well, I'm sure that the name was suggested by AI and so there was nobody at Google who could come up with a better name, so... 🤷‍♂️ 😅

          @bagder I think it's fine for Gemini to refer to two things

              @bagder I started to call my projects after punk bands, and so far, no regrets whatsoever!

                  @bagder Don’t get me started on the word “Shortcuts”. Big name space pollution. You have the old school keyboard shortcut like cmd/ctrl-c for cut. Then there’s Apple’s text replacement shortcuts that are like Text Expander’s. Then the branded automation “Shortcut”. It is so hard to search for an “Apple (automation) Shortcut” on the web.

                    @bagder That's why I name all my programs by shade of blues.
                    I wrote an Azure 25 years ago, maybe I can get Microsoft to change theirs?

                        @bagder I'm kinda surprised Google hasn't renamed it yet, or broken or into two confusingly similar products with slightly doesn't purposes
