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 OpenAIās ChatGPT or Anthropicās Claude as āArtificial Intelligenceā would earn themselves a place on his enemies list.
Writing on Truth Social, he declared that the White House āconsiders anyone that uses the term, āArtificial Intelligence,ā as opposed to the highly accepted new and more accurate term, āSuper Intelligence,ā THE ENEMY!ā
The presidentās 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 āsuper intelligenceā following a lunch with leaders in the AI industry, including Elon Musk, Sundar Pichai, Dario Amodei and others.
Thatās just a subset tho
I like to just call them by what they do. Image generation model, text to speech model, word guessing engine. All of these things are within the computational field called āartificial intelligence,ā but not a one of them contains a lick of actual intelligence. Now that people outside computational academics are exposed to the term, I donāt want to confuse them into thinking intelligence has been achieved. Itās just an aspirational name, and folks are confused enough already.
