As a datapoint, when I read this headline, the very first thing i thought of as "wasn't PRISM some NSA shit? Is OpenAI working with the NSA now?"

It's a horrible name for any product coming out of a company like OpenAI. People are super sensitive to privacy and government snooping and OpenAI is a ripe target for that sort of thinking. It's a pretty bad association. You do not want your AI company to be in any way associated with government surveillance programs no matter how old they are.
