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.
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.
Idiot.
He already declared Democrats to be “the enemy from within”.
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.
I say LLM.
That’s 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 “artificial intelligence,” but not a one of them contains a lick of actual intelligence. Now that people outside computational academics are exposed to the term, I don’t want to confuse them into thinking intelligence has been achieved. It’s just an aspirational name, and folks are confused enough already.
Valid
Artificial intelligence… did I do it? Am I the enemy now?
Heres your ticket, you are trump-enemy # 323,064,783 Thats just the count in America. Across the world it’ll be more like # 6 billion. I’m afraid you’re late to the count but welcome! Have a beer.
Better late than never I suppose!
