Normally, I'd just dismiss this as ChatGPT being trained not to disagree, but as a non-native speaker this has me doubting myself: Is prompt really pronounced rompt?

It feels like it can't possible be true, but on the other hand, I'm probably due for having my confidence in my English completely shattered again by learning another weird word's real pronunciation, so maybe this is it.

I am not a native English speaker either, but I am fairly certain it's pronounced "promt", with the second "p", the one between the "m" and the "t", merging into those sounds to the point of being inaudible itself.

Also, I too asked ChatGPT and it told me that In the word "prompt," there are no silent P's. All the letters in "prompt" are pronounced, including the P.

Nope. Both 'p's in prompt are pronounced. The second one has no vocalization but it is there.

English is full of these consonant encounters and they are an easy way to tell if someone is not fluent.
