I asked @awwstn how they came up with the name @howie_ai: "We wanted it to be a name. And we had a bunch of parameters, and were building this big list. And then Dave sent me a meme of a guy named Howie Dewitt. And its a screenshot of his Facebook profile, with the Montell Jordan song "This is How We Do It" playing in the background. And that was immediately at the top of our list."
