        “Chat” is ChatGPT and “pop off” is popular or gaining traction.

        I promise I’m old, I’m just going back to university and am surrounded by children lol

        Doing HW is why my response lagged, my bad.

            The kids today will ask a sort of rhetorical questions out loud and say something like, “chat, should I (under whatever nonsense here)”. In this instance, they’re pretending to be streamers and ask the viewers. But if someone says, “I’ll just ask chat to write my paper (or whathaveyou).” That’s ChatGPT. The difference is contextual.

              That’s good to know. Thank you. Yeah context can change a lot, but not even knowing the context can make it rather hard to guess any meaning.

                Normally I’d say you can ignore it because it’ll change soon enough, but I think “ask chat” will become synonymous with “ask ai” similar to how “Google it” is now considered personal research/look it up.
