What ever happend to the classic “reticulating splines”?
There a progress bar in an application I wrote that has a one in twenty chance of saying “Reticulating Splines” instead of its usual label.
I have a few hundred users so there are definitely people who have seen it, but so far no one has mentioned it.
Most users don’t care and those who do know chuckle and move along. :-)

We have always had some widgets in our page that take a second to load data from an API, so they have a loader (think weather widget). Recently a couple people left feedback shaming us for using “AI” to do things like getting the weather. The link between loaders and AI is already setting in.
Dreamcast: the first AI console.
It really was ahead on everything!
