And yet virtually all of software has names that took some thought, creativity, and/or have some interesting history. Like the domain name of your Lemmy instance. Or Lemmy.

And people working on something generally want to be proud of their project and not name it the first thing that comes to mind, but take some time to decide on a name.

Wouldnt they also not want to take a random name off an AI generated list? How is that something to be proud of? The thought, creativity, and history behind it is just that you put a query into chatgpt and picked one out of 500 names?

Maybe its just a difference of perspective but thats not only not a special origin story for a name, its taking from others in a way you won't be able to properly credit them, which is essential to me.

I would rather avoid the trouble and spend the time with a coworker or friend throwing ideas back and forth and building an identity intentionally.

I suppose AI could be nice if I was alone nearly all the time.
