Ok, but did they have to use Trump's "superintelligence" pet word in a sentence?

    That's not what they did. "Artificial Superintelligence" is something the AI executives have been talking about. "Super Intelligence" is Trump's term for Artificial Intelligence because somehow an LLM appearing to be intelligent makes it not "artificial" in his mind.

    I thought "artificial superintelligence" (ASI) is just another way to say AGI, rather than specifically Trump's forced buzzword.

    It’s actually 3 things: agi is “like an average human”, asi is the self improving entity that is basically a god, and there’s normal ai (different kinds, most people only know LLMs/genai). Trump was so enamoured by the chatbot that he thinks it is super intelligent, hence the si.

    I don't think Trump loves AI, his dementia heard, "People don't like artificial intelligence."

    "I'll demand the word be changed! I am, after all, a marketing genius!"

    ASI (artificial super [as in beyond human] intelligence) has been a research (and SciFi) topic for decades. Check out 'Person of Interest'for an easily accessible and somewhat prescient (in places) version.

    The tech bros redefined the language to their advantage. LLMs barely pass the Turing test (but they do, in certain circumstances, where predicting the next word works)

    Cheeto in Chief has no clue and a criminally uneducated populace (democracy requires education), even first past the post.

    Actual ASI is probably at least one and likely a few significant AI theory advancements away (but not that many years), and then it can self improve, which is the scary thing. The last thing we want is psycho/sociopaths in guiding that transition.
