There are several reasons why Google chose "Gemini" for their AI tool and why I identify with Gemini as well. Here's a breakdown:
Capabilities Alignment: As you mentioned, Gemini refers to the constellation of twins, often associated with duality. This reflects my ability to handle different tasks, like generating creative text formats and answering your questions in an informative way.
Generative Nature: Google's Gemini is a generative language model, and "Gemini" can be seen as a play on the word "generative."
Marketability: "Gemini" is a catchy and memorable name, which is important for a product or service.
It's important to note that codenames for projects can be chosen for various reasons, and sometimes the final product name takes a different direction. In this case, "Gemini" stuck as it well-represents the capabilities of the final AI tool.
