There’s nothing grammatically offensive about this. It’s like saying, “Cars come in all colors. Mine is red.”
Off the top of my head: GPT-2, Codex, GPT-3 in three different flavors (babbage, curie, davinci), GPT-3.5.
Suggesting that GPT-4 was "fourth" simply isn't credible.
Just the other day they announced a jump from o1 to o3, skipping o2 purely because it's already the name of a major telecommunications brand in Europe. Deriving anything from the names of OpenAI's products doesn't make sense.
GPT4, GPT4T, Gpt4o-Mini, GPT4o,
I was just commenting on the fact that in the UK, ‘Europe’ generally means ‘continental Europe’.

I’d find it weird if a European did. But from Americans it’s to be expected.

Absolutely nothing weird about it, I'd find it very weird if they wouldn't. I'm from Europe and my social circle has people from all over Europe.
It's really just the UK which has this weird usage of Europe.
Europe is a subcontinent of Eurasia, as is Asia. Probably not the naming scheme in all languages, but this is English
It really depends on who you're speaking to.
In general yes, but it depends on if you consider central america as its own continent and if you include them there and how you delineate north/south america. Groupings differ based on your education.
I think the thing that makes the UK different is that there is no other option besides them being a separate thing/continent. Are you suggesting that the UK is it's own continent? Would that be with the faroese and the Greenlanders?
The UK might feel different, but they are not separate. The french feel different from the bulgarians, but that does not mean they are on a separate continent, politically or geographically.
EDIT:
> A lot of British people feel like their civilization is meaningfully distinct
This is, to borrow a word, "balderdash". Looking at the influence vikings, romans and normans have had that is a rubbish argument. Just like other countries in europe the british culture is built on the stones of other cultures, and just like many other countries they subsumed other cultures because of kings or other political dominance.
If British people don’t feel like they’re part of “the Continent”, there’s little objective reason to say they are.
So to what continent do those british people think they belong?
Great Britain (the island) is very close to mainland Europe, and was directly part of it a few thousand years ago. The situation is totally different.
That's pretty much the definition of continent, right? The term continent is not scientifically based unless you want to argue that there are 16-ish continents and that South Georgia is it's own continent (and even tectonically its arbitrary since what we consider to be major, minor, micro are arbitrary).
I was clearly asking what those specific british people think.
Greenland is in North America.
France would have a better argument for it having territory in both north (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Pierre_and_Miquelon and others) and south (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_Guiana and others) america.
