In computer software and media, an Easter egg is an intentional inside joke, hidden message or image, or secret feature of a work. It is usually found in a computer program, video game, etc. [1]
The name is used to evoke the idea of a traditional Easter egg hunt. [1] The term was coined to describe a hidden message in the Atari video game Adventure that encouraged the player to find further hidden messages in later games, leading them on a 'hunt'. [2]
Easter eggs are commonly deployed in 📝Artificial Intelligence (AI)s like 📝Siri. [3]
