#12I didn't know about this project. Thanks to the takedown notice I'll immediatelly clone it and start using it. Thank you OpenAI for playing a role in me finding an alternative!
To be honest I don't think they care about it being alternative. Just that people keep obnoxiously naming their projects after them for visibility. Imo this is exactly how this kind of polite takedown should be used. If it highlighted it to you great because at least you know for sure it's not OpenAIs product.
gpt4free means "gpt for free" and also predates GPT-4. I don't think it was meant to be obnoxious or cause confusion.

GPT is a generic acronym - the wikipedia article writes it out in lowercase. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generative_pre-trained_transfo... gpt4free means "gpt for free" and also predates GPT-4. I don't think it was meant to be obnoxious or cause confusion.
But it's clear and obvious to me that they saw GPT2 then GPT3 and thought well let's pun on it with GPT4.
First line of the wiki you link
> Generative pre-trained transformers (GPT) are a family of large language models (LLMs),[1][2] which was introduced in 2018 by the American artificial intelligence organization *OpenAI*

#16Predictable. You could just come up with an original name and be fine. "GPT4" obviously means the OpenAI product to people. For those ootl, here's the previous thread where OP was given a lot of advice from the HN community to change the name https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35608437

#17Alright but we don't know enough here to evaluate the legitimacy of the request from OpenAI. Very little to go on.

They should just call it FreeGPT that's what FreeBSD did. So did FreeNAS, FreePascal and FreeType. But it's clear and obvious to me that they saw GPT2 then GPT3 and thought well let's pun on it with GPT4.
