True, but here, the insistence on using "le" (instead of just "Mistral Chat"), the "Adoptez le Chat" (adopt the cat) wording and if you go further, the little cat head inside the "M" logo makes the pun very obvious.
It's a way of using the English term "chat" while using the typically French article "Le".
It reminds me of old American cartoons that abused the article "Le" to emphasize the French aspect of a character or place.
The Mistral products "La Plateforme" and "Le Chat" follow this principle.
I personally make an exception for ChatGPT for the delightful phonetical prononciation that translates to "cat I did fart"
Even better if you pronounce the 4 in ChatGPT4 as “for[t]”.
Cat, I did fart loudly.
(chat, j'ai pété fort. ChatGPT4).
chatte, which translates to pussy, is a better homophone. Also funnier but less sfw
That was a classic when playing on the french Speak & Spell
GPTOPIDQ
8 year olds will laugh at anything.
Well LHOOQ is one the most famous french art piece, so, maybe there's something going on here.
