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 ā€œArtificial Intelligenceā€ would earn themselves a place on his enemies list.

Writing on Truth Social, he declared that the White House ā€œconsiders anyone that uses the term, ā€˜Artificial Intelligence,’ as opposed to the highly accepted new and more accurate term, ā€˜Super Intelligence,’ THE ENEMY!ā€

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 ā€œsuper intelligenceā€ following a lunch with leaders in the AI industry, including Elon Musk, Sundar Pichai, Dario Amodei and others.

    Can you people stop embarrassing yourselves? We get it, you don’t like LLMs. But we’ve been calling shitty things AI for a long time. It was ā€œAIā€ when Skyrim NPCs assumed it must have been the wind that shot their fellow guards.

      There is a very good reason I don’t like them.

      Rich people don’t have ā€œtalentā€. They rent or buy talent.

      A.I. (LLMs) allows ā€œwealthā€ to access ā€œtalentā€ without letting talent access wealth.

      That is WHY the rich want A.I.

      Now what rich person would NOT want that?

      And what poor person would want that?

      See the problem yet?

      The rich (people that own LLMs) are NOT stealing your money, they are stealing ā€œwhat you are worthā€ (a living wage).

        Yes, yes, we get it.

        A.I. (LLMs)

        Not all generative AI models are LLMs, in fact what modt people immediately think of outside of tech/development is image and audio generation, which is why a catchall term has been generally agreed.
