When will The Wall Street Journal start calling Artificial Intelligence (AI), a very bad and inaccurate name, SI (Super Intelligence), the name which virtually everyone else is using, or soon will be. In short order, we will be officially BANNING the term, “AI/Artificial Intelligence,” in all relevant documents, and everything else, due to its inaccuracy. Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP

I wonder when we'll get black bagged for saying "AI".

Okay, who asked a genie for Trump to ban AI?

I'm not mad, I just want to know. And also hope you have a wish or two left.

It feels like one of those exact words wishes.

The genie makes Trump ban "AI". Catch is, he replaced it with "SI".

We need to convince him that he need to name it after himself, Super Trump Intelligence.

TBH the right sentiment for so many wrong reasons.

“Artificial Intelligence” as a brand is so misleading it should be criminal.

…Not that this alternative is any more accurate, but at least it’s a more obscure academic term, and sounds stupid so people won’t take it too seriously.

Why though? Is this a favor to someone? Does he gain anything from it himself? Does he just enjoy renaming things?

We’re going to just say it even harder now.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE.

I’d like to ask everyone that when you see articles calling it SI, or super intelligence- when you see this bullshit, ask in the comments what it is. And when you get a response explaining it. Say:

“Oh. You mean AI.”

And never stop doing this. Deadname the shit out of it.

My theory on this is he is trying to leverage contrarions. He knows how unpopular he is whether or not he admits it publicly. He wants to boost the concept of AI and talking about AI, and help continue it's constituent wreckless spending just a liiiiitle while longer by making it rebellious to talk about. If that bubble pops on his watch his legacy will take a huge hit. He's forbidden fruiting something that smells like a corpse, walks like a corpse, and quacks like a corpse.

Edit: Ultimately he is doing what he did when covid hit. How he botched covid is similar to how he's trying to botch the economic equivalent of covid brewing that is over investment in AI. By muddying the conversation and dictating inane talking points he's hoping to smoke bomb out of the whole situation.

Call it an LLM as it's most likely what they're referring to.

Yeah, I'm not gonna lie, this one got me. Like, most of what Trump does isn't hard to figure out. He's a very simple man. But I have no idea why he has such a bug up his ass about this particular thing.

Worked for Twitter, Comcast, sallie Mae, Facebook sorta, many others. I'm not saying it's smart but there's plenty of instances where changing the name of the thing resets peoples opinion's of said thing.

He's going to announce some trump si company probably.

He doesn't like the word artificial, and he is a megalomaniac. He would be throwing a lot more tantrums if he was the leader of a legitimate democracy.

Ok, so, here, in this country, the president can't "ban" words, fuck him for thinking he can. He only thinks that because he's a cunt, a bitch, a traitor, and a fucking piece of shit.

See, I can say that, because this is America. Fuck you you old bitch, die already.
