    yes, also this comment reminded me of

    ChatGPT sounds like "chat, j'ai pete" which means "cat, i farted"

      It’s spelled the same way but not pronounced the same way. Chat - the animal - is pronounced “sha” and Chat - the dialogue - is pronounced the english way (tchat). It’s been used to refer to internet chat rooms since the 90s, the same way that a lot of english linguo is commonly used here to refer to web-related concepts

      Edit: the GPT part however, is indeed very funny
