Yeah, ChatGPT is such a clinical name for a consumer facing app. Especially considering how easy AI stuff is to anthropomorphize. Google had the right idea with Bard and Gemini.
I love how terrible the name is from a branding perspective. It actually makes it feel more legit like a new tech rather than yet another wannabe assistant. And from what I can see, few have heard of Gemini, Bard, Cortana, Copilot, or Jeeves compared to ChatGPT, which has something of the charm of R2D2 or C3PO.
Honestly, it feels a lot more straightforward to me, which is what I like - it's named after what it is, and isn't slathered in marketing grease, where every word is optimized to be the most average Joe-friendly. I'd take ChatGPT over Funky Happy Little Guy Arthur Intelli (get it, it's just like a real person) every day of the week.
