chat is mainstream while chatgpt demands an explanation, considering the end goal is to compete with google-as-a-verb and replace the phrase "google it"

there’s purportedly an entire generation who refer to society’s youtube superego as ‘chat’ so it’s a fantastic name opportunity

Maybe just a defensive acquisition It still forwards to the chatgpt domain

I somewhat understand the URL acquisition but don’t think a single person will ever call it Chat vs. ChatGPT

I think urls are used as verbs rather than nouns. « I’m going to google it » As much as people KNOW what ChatGPT is (and many people don’t!) it’s much better to think « I’m going to chat to figure this out » than « I’m going to ChatGPT it » Chat.com is better mass branding than ChatGPT and easier to remember and use.
