It's at the point I can tell, not only was AI used for this (cool, not a big deal, I use it too!) But I can tell Gemini was used here. How can I tell? Cuz the last thing it designed for me used the exact same fonts, color tones, border sizes and spacing for buttons. Maybe Gemini needs a higher default temperature. Anyways, cool data gathered here tho! Thanks for sharing

I had these exact buttons come from DeepSeek for a demo landing page, it went down a path it called “memphis design”.

Any particular reason that “Andiamo” is so popular? It’s apparently Italian for “let’s go” but why is in the top 10? Is there some reference I’m missing?

Err, the Enterprise has been a ship name for a few hundred years, quite a bit before Star Trek was ever conceived. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Enterprise

There's a fun time loop here: The Star Trek Enterprise and the real-life space shuttle Enterprise were each named after the other. In real life, the shuttle was named after the Star Trek ship. In-universe, the first starship Enterprise (NX-01) was named after the space shuttle. [Edit: I remember reading that years ago, but can't find any official source saying so now, although the intro to the Star Trek Enterprise tv…

Wikipedia (FWIW) says that the fictional USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) was named after the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise (CV-6) rather than the Space Shuttle Enterprise (OV-101).

Folks, you're both correct!

GP is referring to in-universe canon, where the NCC-1701 was conceived and constructed by Starfleet, long after the Space Shuttle program was obsolete.

Wikipedia articles are largely discouraged from using in-universe perspectives or content, as opposed to Fandom/Wikia/Memory Alpha.

On the first point, I think it's a search of boat names , not boats - they're deduplicated.

Sure, but if you click on the boat called "Freedom", it shows you the data of one specific boat, not "there are X boats with this name". So I still think it's inconsistent...

There are 101 boats called freedom but they're all the same boat because they're not de-duplicated.
