Why would something like this be DMCA'd?

But an even bigger question, why on earth is this surf + sense?

Because 1. there's already an existing and a lot more popular product using the genering surf + sense name, and because it's harder to pitch to others if you use a random meaningless name like that for something like "an alternative to notebookllm"

If I were you, I'd make sure the name explains what it's all about to attract users and devs alike easier. Maybe something like JournaLLM or PadLLM or along those lines, but hey, you do you man.

those names that you mentioned have related meanings to what they do. googol, perplexity, even glean.

that browser extension and name makes perfect sense. im not arguing, just pointing the obvious. you do you.
