Generative Pre-trained Transformer is a horrible term to have an acronym for.

Do you think the mass market thinks GPT is an acronym? It's just a name. Currently synonymous with AI.

Ask anyone outside the tech bubble about "Gemini" though. You'll get astrology.

True I guess they treat it just like SMS.

I still think they'd have taken off more if they'd given it a catchy name from the start and made the interface a bit more consumer friendly.
