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 ā€œArtificial Intelligenceā€ would earn themselves a place on his enemies list.

Writing on Truth Social, he declared that the White House ā€œconsiders anyone that uses the term, ā€˜Artificial Intelligence,’ as opposed to the highly accepted new and more accurate term, ā€˜Super Intelligence,’ THE ENEMY!ā€

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 ā€œsuper intelligenceā€ following a lunch with leaders in the AI industry, including Elon Musk, Sundar Pichai, Dario Amodei and others.

    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.
