I saw someone point out today that to a French speaker “ChatGPT” reads like “Cat, I farted” (« Chat, j’ai pété ») and now that is what I am going to think of every time I see it mentioned.
@ubernostrum That's where they got the name from.
"What can we call this AI?"
"Wait a minute, there's a bad smell. My cat's farted!"
"That gives me an idea...."
