What Does 'GPT' Mean in ChatGPT?

Recently, AI (artificial intelligence)

Artificial intelligence is very popular.

Especially a chatty intelligent robot

ChatGPT has exploded in popularity.

It is said that the global user base has exceeded 100 million.

This growth speed is even faster than that of Douyin or TikTok!

Rocket-like explosive growth,

only ChatGPT has achieved this.

So what can ChatGPT actually do?

Besides answering common knowledge questions,

it can also provide solutions, plans, copywriting…

It can program,

and write teaching materials,

it can almost answer anything you can think of….

Describing it as“omnipotent” is not an exaggeration.

The English term is: omnipotence

/ɑːmˈnɪpətəns/

(omnipotent, all-powerful)

Of course, the class leader still hopes to popularize some English knowledge.

Everyone knows that chat means “to chat”.

But what does the abbreviation GPT stand for?

① What do the letters GPT in ChatGPT stand for?

G stands forgenerative

adj. productive; reproductive; (linguistics) generative

The root of this word is generate (v. to produce, to cause), which leads to gene (gene).

In linguistics, generative means “text-generating, language-generating”.

P stands forpre-trained

Pre-training.

Pre is a prefix meaning “before”, for example pre-tax; pre-school.

Train means to train. So overall it can be translated as “pre-trained”.

T stands forTransformer

n. transformer; a person (or thing) that causes change; (computing) converter.

The term “transformer” is what we refer to as “Transformers” in popular culture.

GPT stands for generative pre-trained transformer pre-trained language generator.

② Besides “robot”, what else does robot mean….
We often refer to robot as:
a machine that can perform a complicated series of tasks automatically (能自动执行一系列复杂任务的机器) robot.
It also has another very interesting meaning, which surprised me when I saw it. Its English definition is: a traffic light 交通信号灯
for example:
Turn left at the second robot and you’ll see where you should go.
At the second traffic light, turn left and you will know where to go.
③ chat means “to chat”, but what does chat up mean?
chat up is a verb phrase that means:
to talk in a friendly way to somebody you are sexually attracted to (受异性吸引而)to flirt with someone. Similar expressions include hook up with somebody / pick up somebody (to flirt or hit on someone, with sexual connotation) and chat up also has this implication.
for example:
Look at that cute girl and I really had a big crush on her, so I’m gonna chat her up.
Look at that cute girl, I really like her, so I’m going to flirt with her.
