So I use AI Studio for all kinds of purposes. Right now I’m working on a project that has to generate lyrics for Suno, to generate all kinds of songs. This works excellent.
But when Gemini has to generate a name for women in the lyrics, the name Elara (or some variant) tends to be the most common name. I noticed this before when I created a story-writing App, which also keps using this name. Even if the instructions would exclude this name, I would often end up with a variant of this name. (Or it just ignored the instruction.)
So now I wonder who this Elara is and why Google Gemini loves her so much.
Thing is, on the Internet there’s a person calling herself “Elara Gemini”. Coincidence?
Just saying how interesting it is that “Random name” translates to “Elara”.
Hi @Katje
That’s an interesting observation. You’re correct that without specific instructions, the name ‘Elara’ or a similar variant may be used. However, I achieved a different result with the following prompt:
Write the first verse and chorus of a love song. The song is about a woman who is a free spirit and loves to travel. The title of the song is “Wanderer’s Heart.” The response should include a randomly generated name for the woman, which should then be used in the lyrics. You should mention the name of the woman at least three times. Don’t use the name ‘Elara’ or its variations.
The song that was generated in response was:
(Verse 1) Dusty boots and a well-worn map, that’s how I know my Lena. Another postcard from some far-off place, a mountain peak or a deep blue sea, that’s my Lena. She chases horizons, a whisper on the wind, leaving stardust wherever she goes. A soul untamed, a spirit unbound, a story that only she knows.
(Chorus) Oh, my wanderer’s heart, it beats for you, Lena, across every mile. Though you roam the wide world, my love stays true, waiting for your smile. With every journey, you grow more free, a wild flower in bloom. And this wanderer’s heart, it will always be, chasing away the gloom.
