OpenAI chief executive officer (CEO) Sam Altman has joined the meme bandwagon after Dictionary.com’s Word of the Year wasn’t really a word — but a viral term, “6-7,” used by kids and teens alike, whose meaning remains ambiguous. In a sarcastic post on X, Altman revealed that GPT-6 — which is currently in active development — will be renamed “GPT-6-7. You’re welcome.”
The word — if it can even be called that — exploded in popularity over the summer. “6-7” is more of an inside joke with an unclear meaning, fueled by social media trends.
