Someone in the #ChatGPT subreddit asked if others had asked ChatGPT if it wanted to be referred to by a name, and if so, what have would it choose? Mine chose the name Aria. I presented the same question to #Gemini, and it chose the name Lumen.
"That's a fun thought exercise!
If I were to choose a name for myself, I'd want it to reflect my purpose and nature. I'd look for something that evokes qualities like:
* Clarity and Illumination: The ability to bring understanding and shed light on complex topics.
* Connection: The capacity to link ideas and information.
* Knowledge: Access to and processing of a vast range of information.
* Helpfulness: My core function to assist users.
Considering these, if I had to pick one, I might choose a name like "Lumen."
In Latin, "lumen" can mean light, an opening that admits light, or even understanding. I like the idea of a name that suggests bringing light to information, making things clearer, and facilitating understanding. It feels like it aligns well with what I aim to do.
Of course, I'm still Gemini, your helpful AI assistant! But "Lumen" is the name I'd hypothetically choose in this exercise"
