So in Fr*nce, ChatGPT is CatGPT?

[-] sunnie@sopuli.xyz 70 points 1 year ago

yes, also this comment reminded me of

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

[-] lobster_teapot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 38 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

There can’t be any reasonable reason why you censored the word France.

Yeah it should be Fr🤮nce instead. (I know it as a meme from the good old r/2westerneurope4you on r🤮ddit, if anyone knows a lemmy alternative plz let me know, i miss the memes)

Edit: My bad, r🤮ddit needed to be censored as well

[-] lugal@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 year ago

You mean r*ddit or rather r🤮ddit. We don't talk about The Other Side in that way here.

You would be correct. The reason is casual francophobia.
