ChatGPT-6-7: Reason Behind The Unconventional Name

For those who are unaware, '6 7' is a pretty famous catchphrase amongst Gen Alpha. It is often used to describe situations that are unconventional or confusing. It basically means, whatever, so-so, or I am not explaining this. To be precise, the purpose of '6 7' is to represent chaos. According to Dictionary.com, the phrase means a context-free in-joke. What's more intriguing is that Sam Altman's post came right after Dictionary.com announced that '6 7' is the Word of the Year. Taking a deep dive in the details, the phrase depicts something unserious and unpredictable, which is just the opposite of what AI does. Now, by using the same name for the next model, Sam Altman could be possibly poking at the difference between human nonsense and machine precision.Also Read: OpenAI Will Soon Make Users Pay For Extra Video Generation On Sora 2, All You Need To Know Apart from that, it could also mean that it doesn't matter how good AI becomes at communication, but humans will always find new tactics to be confusing.

As for the capabilities, despite all the criticism that GPT-5 is facing, Sam Altman is confident about the leap that GPT-6 is going to take. He said in the past, 'What I can tell you with confidence is GPT-6 will be significantly better than GPT-5, and GPT-7 will be significantly better than GPT-6.'
