I still don’t know how openAI thought it was a good idea to have a model named "4o" AND a model named "o4", unless the goal was intentional confusion

- afro88 9mo agoConsidering how many people say ChatGTP too
- uh_uh 9mo agoThe other day I heard ChatGBD.
- ben_w 9mo agoHave you heard Boris Johnson's version? https://m.youtube.com/shorts/JAVMEs5CG1Y https://m.youtube.com/shorts/JAVMEs5CG1Y
- lichenwarp 9mo agoI'm gonna watch this again about 5 times because it's so fucking funny
- mandeepj 9mo agoThe comments have their own overdose of deliciousness. That click to look at them, never disappoints :-)
- razodactyl 9mo agoThis one was great hahaha
- tweakimp 9mo agoMY favourite is ChatJippiddy
- Imustaskforhelp 9mo agoDo you watch primagen by instance? A fellow Primagen viewer spotted.
- lifetimerubyist 9mo agoOr just "gippity" for short.
- tibbydudeza 9mo agoThe Primeagen :).
- bee_rider 9mo agoChagGDP because a country worth of money was spent to train it.
- deleted 9mo ago[deleted]
- Insanity 9mo agoI’ve been hearing that consistently from a friend, I gave up on correcting them because “ChatGPT” just wouldn’t stick
- throw-the-towel 9mo agoI still don't like how French people don't call it "chat j'ai pété".
- adzm 9mo agoGTP goes forward from the middle, teeth, then lips, as compared to GPT which goes middle, lips, teeth; you'll see this pattern happen with a lot of words in linguistic history
- cryptoz 9mo agoEven more than that, I've seen a lot of people confuse 4 and 4o, probably because 4o sounds like a shorthand for 4.0 which would be the same thing as 4.
- mimischi 9mo agoCome to think of it, maybe they had a play on 4o being “40”, and o4-mini being “04”, and having to append the “mini” to bring home the message of 04<40
- Someone1234 9mo agoEven ChatGPT (and certainly Google) confuses the names. I'm sure there is some internal/academic reason for them, but from an outside observer simply horrible.
- jsheard 9mo agoWasn't "ChatGPT" itself only supposed to be a research/academic name, until it unexpectedly broke containment and they ended up having to roll with it? The naming was cursed from the start.
- rib3ye 9mo agoWhen picking a fight with product marketing, just don't.
- razodactyl 9mo agoHow many times have you noticed people confusing the name itself: ChatGBT, ChatGTP etc. We're the technical crowd cursed and blinded by knowledge.
- recursive 9mo ago"4o" was bad to begin with, as "four-oh" is a common verbalization of "4.0".
- pdntspa 9mo agoIt's almost always marketing and some stupid idea someone there had. I don't know why non-technical people try and claim so much ownership over versioning. You nearly always end up with these ridiculous outcomes. "I know! Let's restart the version numbering for no good reason!" becomes DOOM (2016), Mortal Kombat 1 (2025), Battlefield 1 (2016), Xbox One (not to be confused with the original Xbox 1) As another example, look at how much of a trainwreck USB 3 has become Or how Nvidia restarted Geforce card numbering
- recursive 9mo agoXbox should be in the hall of fame for terrible names. There's also Xbox One X, which is not in the X series. Did I say that right? Playstation got the version numbers right. I couldn't make names as incomprehensible as Xbox if I tried.
- pdntspa 9mo agoRumor has it they were jelly because the Playstation 3 had one higher version number than what would have been the Xbox 2, so it became the Xbox 360 instead. And then got further off the rails when its replacement arrived
