Apropos of nothing, I noticed French media pronounces GPT geepeetee instead of what in French should be jaypaytay. Probably because it sounds just like ‘J’ai pété’ which means ‘I farted.’ Since chat is the French word for cat, saying ChatGPT out loud,is basically saying ‘Cat, I farted’.


“Chat” as in “internet discussion” is pronounced the same way in French as in English, as it is an English loan word, and not like “Chat” as in “cat”.


Hahaha, this is so funny. Thank you for sharing. See also Nvidia culitho and its meaning in Spanish.


Now OpenAI have their new mascot.
