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.

    Loyalty test. If you don’t use their language you don’t support them.

    History tells us this is common with these types of regimes.

    Instead of “artificial intelligence” or “super intelligence", how about “Trump-like intelligence”?

    Everyone can read into that whatever implications they want.

    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.

      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.

        Can you people stop embarrassing yourselves? We get it, you don’t like LLMs. But we’ve been calling shitty things AI for a long time. It was “AI” when Skyrim NPCs assumed it must have been the wind that shot their fellow guards.

          There is a very good reason I don’t like them.

          Rich people don’t have “talent”. They rent or buy talent.

          A.I. (LLMs) allows “wealth” to access “talent” without letting talent access wealth.

          That is WHY the rich want A.I.

          Now what rich person would NOT want that?

          And what poor person would want that?

          See the problem yet?

          The rich (people that own LLMs) are NOT stealing your money, they are stealing “what you are worth” (a living wage).

            Yes, yes, we get it.

            A.I. (LLMs)

            Not all generative AI models are LLMs, in fact what modt people immediately think of outside of tech/development is image and audio generation, which is why a catchall term has been generally agreed.

      No, no, we just need an executive order requiring federal agencies use the term, then the Library of Congress will update the LOC subject headings and the college libraries will (by default) adopt the new subject headings and it’ll be so much fun /s

        Just a few though. Biden is obviously a war criminal. From the Democratic party, no less. Such a massive disappointment and disgrace. We need to apply the best medical science we have to keeping him and trump alive so we can try them and give them a few sunset years in prison before they croak. We have the technology, lets use it. I dont care what it costs. Dying is getting out much too easy for their crimes.

    Curious how they transitioned the names of the Bay of Mexico, the Lake Ontario and now of Artificial Intelligence.

    They can accept name changes.

    That’s okay, Don. I was already your enemy.

    Oh, and you’ve got it backwards. You’re the one who’s the enemy of our Republic. And pretty much everyone else, too.
