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.

Do you guys ever wonder if you'd be flagged at the border if you were to ever go to the US?

It's a gamble as to what will win out between America's police state and their total incompetence as a nation, I think.

[–] ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 128 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

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.

[–] chaogomu@lemmy.world 30 points 1 week ago (4 children)

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.

[–] Doomsider@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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.

It's probably Musk himself typing his replies most of the time.

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

Everyone can read into that whatever implications they want.

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.

Stop trying to make super intelligence happen.

It's not going to happen.

[–] SeeMarkFly@lemmy.ml 16 points 1 week ago (9 children)

It's a computer. It's ones and zeros following a program. It will NEVER have intelligence.

It is technically Artificial Stupidity. There is NO I.Q there.

rapes children, we have no reason to believe he ever stopped

[–] chaogomu@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago

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.

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

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

They can accept name changes.

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.

[–] P1nkman@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Ok, I'll just call it American Intelligence now.

[–] FistingEnthusiast@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

That's an oxymoron, if ever there was one!

Well, I've been trying to avoid calling those systems "AI" (outside of quotes and such) for years. Because they aren't intelligent. They are LLMs and diffusion models.

I'm still the enemy of course.

How can people trust AI from a company that renames its product to such a stupid name because the senile president of the United States throws a tantrum about it? What else is that company doing at the request of the US government?

[–] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

Artificial intelligence. Glad to be your enemy trump
