felt amused by Gemini 2.5 Pro coming up with the name “Mr. Silas Blackwood” when generating chapter outlines
Silas only recently broke into the top 100 baby names in USA, and Blackwood as a surname is also uncommon, sitting at around 3900-ish
And yet, in previous iterations of my tetralogy, I did have a protagonist named Silas plus an antagonist surnamed Blackwood.
And it’s impossible for Gemini 2.5 Pro to know that. I haven’t used those names in ages and they don’t appear in my current notes at all.
Anyway, it’s maybe not surprising, but still amusing how after all this time, the tetralogy has changed so much, but it’s still inhabiting some part of a latent space where an LLM can read my notes and go, “Silas…Blackwood…good names for a story like this…” exactly the way I did, all those years ago. 1 reply
