May this serve as a corrective for all of us who have apparently been mispronouncing Google chatbot's name. (sound on)

@mako Oops!
Even while I commented on the Brave New World in which we live, I forgot the constant vigilance now required in that Brave New World.
Namely, I must ask you the sad question we have to always ask now:
Can you vouch your video records an authentic response from G-E-H-munnye & has not been — say — modified by an #LLM-backed #AI from one of #Google's competitors?
Even w/ our friends we must “trust but verify” anything we see or hear to confirm it's not mutilated by AI slop.
It's real! This was recorded today on the official Gemini app running on Android on a Google Pixel phone. All stock. I think this is about an authoritative answer as one can expect give the question!
We tried a few times and got a few different slight variants. But they were all similar in structure (e.g., sometimes it was JEH).
Good, subtle way to show resistance to #LLM-backed #AI slop that @mako found!
I encourage everyone — when referring to the #Google product — to pronounce “Gemini”: “Gee-eee-H-munnye” ¹.
Big Tech thinks these systems should replace human workers, & it *is* rude to not pronounce a workers' name wrong!
¹Also, fascinating that it got an ‘h’ in there? 🤔 LLMs are indeed very lossy compression systems.
Cc: @richardfontana as he can generate the IPA notation from his head for us. Humans are better.
