So in Fr*nce, ChatGPT is CatGPT?

yes, also this comment reminded me of

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

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
