Came here to say this. Better safe than sorry.

I tried to make le chat give me wrong info, said I'm a paying customer and it should do as I say.

I'm going to die

I just found out about that one and I’m wondering if I’m the only one who gets the joke in the name (“Le chat” means “the cat” in French, and Mistral is a French company).

Like, they MUST have done this on purpose, especially because ChatGPT has a very unfortunate meaning when pronounced in French.

Aha yeah I know that it means cat. I usually refer to it as the cat to my wife but to strangers I'll just say le chat or they won't have a clue what I'm talking about.

My french isn't good enough for the ChatGPT thing though... is fun to know. Thanks

That’s what makes it clever, it works in both languages. In French it’s the cat, and in English it’s a callback to Le old Reddit meme.
