As long as the project is actively trying to mislead people with a incorrect project name, I don't see it as them doing the right thing.

But we aren't actively trying that is why the frontpage was updated to respond to exactly this criticism. There is no active deception going on here. You don't like the name, that's fine, but it clearly states it isn't affiliated.
The website domain is still gpt4all.io, the project is still named "GPT4All Chat" and the GitHub project's title is "gpt4all-chat". Not sure how that is responding to the criticism that the project name is misleading. It's not that I don't like the name, is that it seems you're trying to make people believe the project is something it's not.
OpenAI mislead people. Where do you draw the line?
Yes, OpenAI's name is also misleading. When they moved from doing Open Source, Open research and being non-profit, they should have changed the name as it's no longer accurate.
OpenAI is on the wrong side of that line. That doesn't mean this project has to also do that.
People affiliated with openai have privately stated they are appreciative of this project.
