I mean, how is it any worse than 'google'?

chatgpt is generic (as in, no prior meaning attached, except for the few people in the world who understand what GPT stands for). It's simple - even a non-english speaker can say it easily, and doesn't require one to be native to know how to pronounce it (this is a difficult concept for a native english speaker to grok).

These features makes for a good name.

"Google" at least doesn't have an acronym for "Generative pre-trained transformer" baked into it.

		And many people don't know what Google stands for. Just like they probably didn't care what AOL stands for, or MSN

		Even you agreed that almost nobody knows what GPT stands for - which means it's as random as any other three letter acronyms. So i argue that chatGPT is indeed a good name (as good as google was).
