I know it's juvenile, but "dot" is Australian slang for anus (maybe British/Irish too, I don't know). Reading that page had me in stitches. Fantastic product naming from OpenAI.

Had no clue the Aussie slang meaning. Agree the naming seems not particulary well aligned with the product. It sounds like a kids game to me. Im expecting it have sole dot bouncing around asking me what we want to do next.
