Latest outburst comes as his push to rebrand the emerging technology increasingly falls flat
Donald Trump on Thursday opened up a new front in his ongoing war against commonly used terms and geographic names by warning that anyone referring to Large Language Models such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT or Anthropic’s Claude as “Artificial Intelligence” would earn themselves a place on his enemies list.
Writing on Truth Social, he declared that the White House “considers anyone that uses the term, ‘Artificial Intelligence,’ as opposed to the highly accepted new and more accurate term, ‘Super Intelligence,’ THE ENEMY!”
The president’s outburst-cum-veiled threat landed just over a week after he signed an executive order directing executive branch agencies to begin referring to artificial intelligence, which is now embedded across the federal government, as “super intelligence” following a lunch with leaders in the AI industry, including Elon Musk, Sundar Pichai, Dario Amodei and others.
If ‘super intelligence’ is such a “highly accepted” phrase, why is Trump so insecure about some people not using it? The ‘gentleman’ doth protest too much.
Instead of “artificial intelligence” or “super intelligence", how about “Trump-like intelligence”?
Everyone can read into that whatever implications they want.
Wonder if he’ll be dumb enough to fight Apple as well who calls it AI, using the name Apple Intelligence since iOS 18. It got a lot more Integrated with their latest OS’s but I don’t see them throwing away the name Apple Intelligence so quickly after putting the name in over a billion devices.
Stop trying to make super intelligence happen.
It’s not going to happen.
It’s a computer. It’s ones and zeros following a program. It will NEVER have intelligence.
It is technically Artificial Stupidity. There is NO I.Q there.
Of course, the conman is fuming that nobody cares about changing the name of AI because his latest con depends on the value of all the .si domains they purchase in June going up.
Bingo!
Well, he is right in one thing. Trump and I are enemies.
I say LLM.
Laugh now. But he’s one executive order away from having the power to arrest anyone who uses forbidden language.
Here comes another “executive order”
…which happens to be the White House Staffers internal term for a full diaper
Well, I’ve been trying to avoid calling those systems “AI” (outside of quotes and such) for years. Because they aren’t intelligent. They are LLMs and diffusion models.
I’m still the enemy of course.
this little bitch really needs to be the center of all attention nowadays
I’ll call it SI: Simulated Intelligence
Because it isn’t actual intelligence and it sure as hell isn’t “super”
I can’t tell whether this story emphasizes the “stable” or “genius” parts of Trump more.
