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.

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

    They can accept name changes.

    "Artificial Intelligence" has been the preferred nomenclature since 1955. What a fucking clown.

    I hereby declare that any groveling bootlicker unironically using the term "SI" shall be shunned, ridiculed, and laughed out of the room anywhere they show their disgraced face

    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.

    Also, Trump is constantly talking to grok now, likely a version of grok tuned to constantly praise him more than the already spineless praise that you normally get from chatbots.

    Trump only ever praises people, or things now I guess, that butter him up first.

    He closed down Trump Model Management in early 2017, likely because of the open child trafficking, and lost his connection to MC2 Modeling when Epstein was arrested. But he still has Paolo Zampolli, who to the best of my searching, still has deep ties to ID Model management.

    But who are we kidding, Trump still has ties to a lot of creeps. Funny that.

    Fine, I'll call it silicon intelligence, which makes it sound alien because it is.

    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.

    Stop trying to make super intelligence happen.

    It's not going to happen.

    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.
