Chat, J’ai Pété

[bnewman]

According to a meme that has been going around, the name of OpenAI's flagship product sounds especially funny if you know French.

ChatGPT is here, and while there's cause for hope and fear

The AI age to come remains uncharted

But hang on to your pants, it so happens that in France

"Chat, j'ai pété" means "cat, I farted"

 

Will "cat, I farted" revolutionize the Internet?

Will "cat, I farted" skew the information I can get?

Will "cat, I farted" steal my job and automate my role?

Will "cat, I farted" run amok, or will we keep control?

 

ChatGPT sounds great, but when it's let out of its crate

Will its logic leave us living or departed?

Roll the dice on each release, but in Avignon and Nice

"Chat, j'ai pété" means "cat, I farted"

 

Will "cat, I farted" take the place of indexing and search?

Will "cat, I farted" print a snazzy logo on my merch?

Will "cat, I farted" ever conjure up a real surprise?

Can "cat, I farted" even tell when "cat, I farted" lies?

 

ChatGPT rolls on, towards a new, uncertain dawn

But the Singularity has barely started

Summon your robotic henchmen, but if they should meet a Frenchman

"Chat, j'ai pété" means "cat, I farted"

 

Will "cat, I farted" plagiarize from every single book?

Will "cat, I farted" sell my private data to a crook?

Will "cat, I farted" hand the world to big tech CEOs?

Does "cat, I farted" even know what "cat, I farted" knows?

 

If you're cynically inclined, try to keep an open mind

Though you need not be unduly open-hearted

If you use ChatGPT, just remember, in Paris

"Chat, j'ai pété" means "cat, I farted"
