@cdarwin@c.im67: The none-sensical viral phrase that Gen Alpha can’t stop saying
And now, its seems to be taking over OpenAI as well.
“GPT-6 will be renamed GPT-6-7, you’re welcome,”
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman posted to X on Friday.
Altman’s announcement comes just a couple of days after Dictionary.com named the slang 2025’s word of the year.
