Don’t embarrass yourself in your next AI conversation
AI is everywhere: your inbox, your apps, your Zoom calls where Kyle keeps saying, “Let’s run it through chat-jeept.” If you’re going to drop those AI buzzwords, here’s how to not sound like a malfunctioning toaster and keep your smart-person street cred intact.
Say them out loud as you go. Bonus points if you quiz a friend nearby.
🤖 Say it smart: AI edition
Nvidia
Say “en-VID-ee-uh.” Not “NIV-ee-duh.” This company makes the chips that make AI possible.
OpenAI
Say “OH‑pen A‑I.” Emphasize the letters. Not “Open A” like it’s a discount airline.
ChatGPT
Say each letter: “Chat‑G‑P‑T.” Not “chat-jeept.” Please, never “chat-guh-put.”
GPT
Same deal: “G‑P‑T.” It stands for “Generative Pretrained Transformer,” but that’s cocktail party trivia, not pronunciation help.
Claude
Say it like a name: “Clawd.” It’s an AI chatbot from Anthropic, not your neighbor’s schnauzer. Made by a French company, it’s technically pronounced “Klohd,” but it’ll be a cold day on the sun before you hear me saying that out lohd.
Anthropic
“An-THROP-ick.” Not “ANN-thro-pick” or “an-thro-peek.” They’re a major AI player you’ll hear more about.
Meta
“MEH‑tuh.” It’s Facebook’s parent company, but don’t call it Facebook. That’s so 2019.
DALL·E
Say it like “Dolly” the sheep. It’s a mash-up of Salvador Dalí and WALL·E. Not “DALL-E” like it’s yelling at you or “daily” or “day lee.”
Stable Diffusion
Say it straight: “STAY-bul dih-FYOO-zhun.” It’s the go-to for AI art. Just don’t call it “stubble.”
💡 Close the loop
AI is already part of your daily life, and whether you’re on board or rolling your eyes, sounding smart when you talk about it is a no-brainer.
Pro tip: Type any term into search “[term] + pronunciation” on YouTube. Just be sure the comments don’t roast the video.
😂 Two tourists were driving through Wisconsin. As they were approaching Oconomowoc, they started arguing about the pronunciation of the town’s name. They argued back and forth until they stopped for lunch. As they stood at the counter, one tourist asked the employee, “Before we order, could you please settle an argument for us? Would you please pronounce where we are … very slowly?” The woman leaned over the counter and said, “Burrrrrr, gerrrrrr, Kiiiing.”
