When it comes to naming a child, most parents turn to the baby books for inspiration, or ask their friends and family for help. But one mum has revealed how she asked ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence chatbot developed by OpenAI, to come up with a shortlist of names.
She asked the AI: "What are some baby names I would like? I like last names as first names, and my style is preppy and classic." ChatGPT came back with 20 suggestions - but she says these were "a little too preppy for her taste" - and so she refined her question.
The expecting mum followed up with: "Can you send me a list of baby names I might like? I like last names as first names, and names that are trending in the top 500. My current children are named Reagan and Brooks." When reviewing the list, she told Reddit users: "ChatGPT really delivered with this next list. Really loving so many of these, just wanted to share in case anyone else wants a baby name consultation and refuses to spend the money on it."
