Even I often tell I chatgeepeeteed the result, in the same fashion when I continue saying I googled the result, while actually I used Duck Duck Go. I could ask another LLM provider, but I have no idea how to communicate that properly to a non-technical folks. Heck, I don’t want to communicate that _properly_ to tech peers either. I don’t like these pedantic phrases ‘well, actually … that wasn’t Google, I used DDG for that.’ Sometimes I can say ‘web search,’ but ‘I googled that’ is just more natural thing to say.

Same here. I tried saying ‘I asked LLM’ or ‘I asked AI’ but that doesn’t sound right for me. So, in most conversations I say ‘I asked Chat GPT’ and in most of these situations, it feels like the exact provider does not matter, since essentially they are very similar in their nature.



I cheekily refer to it as Al (like, short for Albert) because Google seems to love to shove Al's overviews in my search results.

But when I'm being more serious I'd usually just say "I asked GPT"

I have a colleague who just refers to AI as "Chat" which I think is kinda cute, but people also use the term "chat" to refer to... Like, people, or "yall". Or to their stream chat.


I recently used "an unreliable source that gives fast answers to questions" in a comment here. I think I will keep on using it.


Hey, that’s a nice one!


I like to go with 'I asked my bot|chatbot'


>I asked AI doesn't sound right for me.

That's a you thing.


Hey, but it’s not AI!
