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.

    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.

        It’s a fucking black box, for all we know Elon is the one providing the answers to the President. Hell, it is probably being used as a back channel.

          Well, maybe it’s Indians - people joke that “AI” means Actually Indians, given the cases of fraud…

            My daughter was telling me some awful stuff like they employ people in foreign countries to train AI on detecting child porn. They basically have to watch it all day. So gross knowing human beings have to do shit like this to make AI a reality.

    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.

    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.

    oh yeah, well I do formally declare that trump is a poopyhead. How about that.

    He’s so stupid. Who cares what he proclaims. He doesnt have the authority to order citizens what to say unless they are federal employees. He can sit down on his rancid dump-filled diaper and shut the hell up.

    And we could have told him we were his enemy before this, all he has to do is open his fat eyes.

    Instead of “artificial intelligence” or “super intelligence", how about “Trump-like intelligence”?

    Everyone can read into that whatever implications they want.

      Wonder if he’ll be dumb enough to fight Apple as well who calls it AI, using the name Apple Intelligence since iOS 18. It got a lot more Integrated with their latest OS’s but I don’t see them throwing away the name Apple Intelligence so quickly after putting the name in over a billion devices.

          With the kind of greedy pussies that run these outfits, who knows. I could totally seeing them bending the knee because donnie dumbass had a brainfart the one day.

          It’s weird to live in these times. On the one hand, we are having breakthrough after breakthrough on so many levels. Things are definitely trending in the right direction on so many things over the decades. We may be on the brink of some really incredible progress in so many technological and scientific things.

          But then we get a total dipshit like this in the WH, ruining just about everything. And he’s just impossibly stupid.

    executive departments and agencies (agencies) shall use “Super Intelligence” and “SI” in place of “Artificial Intelligence” and “AI” in official correspondence, public communications, websites, reports, policy documents, and other non-statutory documents within the executive branch.

    welp, this only covers executive departments and agencies.

    nice try, donnie.

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

    They can accept name changes.
