Did they say somewhere they were going to add that as a voice command? Right now you trigger Google by saying "ok Google".

My understanding is you want a name that's recognizable, searchable, and as short as possible given those constraints. If we attach Google to "Google Bard" that seems like it fits the bill. No one really talks about bards conversationally. "Gemini" already had a notable space program association, plus astrological sign. Someone like Google can probably overcome those existing associations, but why choose a word that's longer and less distinct?

I do get annoyed saying chatgpt over and over (same with LLM) so I don't view that as a favorable comparison.
