I know it's juvenile, but "dot" is Australian slang for anus (maybe British/Irish too, I don't know). Reading that page had me in stitches. Fantastic product naming from OpenAI.

Had no clue the Aussie slang meaning. Agree the naming seems not particulary well aligned with the product. It sounds like a kids game to me. Im expecting it have sole dot bouncing around asking me what we want to do next.

I’m all in on OpenAI supported by Gemini and local models as my go to AI providers. So, I would at least try out Dots (with some dummy account for a mundane task and take it from there).

Unfortunately, it’s not available in the Europe (yet):

> Dots are rolling out today in ChatGPT to Pro users in markets excluding the European Economic Area, Switzerland, and the UK

I’m wondering what’s going on here. I suspect it’s a privacy thing. Not sure though.

Either way it sucks to be boxed out of trying out new features, especially when you’re a paying subscriber.
