OpenAI initially considered naming the chatbot "Chat with GPT-3.5," but a late-night decision led to the simpler name, ChatGPT. Launched in late 2022, ChatGPT quickly gained millions of users who utilized the tool for various tasks. The name change was unexpected but consequential, as the chatbot's success was largely attributed to its user-friendly interface. Following its launch, ChatGPT gained popularity globally, indicating that its influence would be significant and lasting.
"Chat with GPT-3.5 doesn't really roll off the tongue, but it's almost what OpenAI named ChatGPT. We had a late-night decision to simplify the name."
"We realized that that would be hard to pronounce and came up with a great name instead, ChatGPT, short for 'generative pre-trained transformer.'"
"Before ChatGPT's launch, few within OpenAI expected the name to be so consequential. The main differences included a more user-friendly interface and, of course, the name."
"After OpenAI launched ChatGPT, the chatbot took off, with Reddit users as far away as Japan experimenting with it. It soon became clear that ChatGPT's popularity wasn't going to fade quickly and that the tool was going to change the world."
