Authorial intent is irrelevant, fuck a Compuserve.

According to Steve Wilhite, the creator of the GIF format, the original pronunciation deliberately echoes the American peanut butter brand, Jif, and the employees of CompuServe would often say "Choosy developers choose GIF", spoofing this brand's television commercials.[4]

You know, one of the demons that rattles around in my brain makes me mispronouce hard g's as soft g's when no one else is around. So I get things like "Hunger James" and "Jerry Jarcia", etc.

how it is pronounced is however you pronounce it. how well you are comprehended is up to the listener.
