pronunciation of the words that make up an acronym have nothing to do with how you pronounce an acronym. see: atm is ay tee emm not aw tel mah nor is it atom. it’s just however it would make sense as a standalone word. some make a single sound and some require letter by letter and some combine.
soft ‘g’ jif makes perfect sense and is what the creator said is the the way it’s pronounced. hard ‘g’ gif sounds like someone saying ‘gift’ got candlejacked, thank you for coming to my ted tal
It’s an acronym, people! Say it right:

NASA, not NAySA, SCUBA, not SCUBbA, LASER, not LASsER. Many such cases.
ATM is not an acronym, though, just an initialism, so the letters are pronounced individually.
It’s ireelevant anyway since the english pronounciation is so inconsistent.
If it’s an acronym it wouldn’t be pronounced like that, that would be an initialism.
