So few terms in AI are well defined. We will get ASI via AGI because of RSI but neither of those three things have any definition except pure vibes.

I struggle with the argument that RSI doesn't already exist like you say, it's existed since before the term LLM (hey, one that can be defined!) was common parlance. Though the biggest use for those is not superintelligence, it's to serve you ads and get your kids addicted to TikTok.

Narrow pre-LLM models that spit out content and ad recommendations have never been capable of also suggesting, let alone implementing, self-improvements.

Clearly well-defined must live in a probability bracket. Only humans demand exactitude.

RSI has always being a well defined name, and you can only have RSI if you have an intelligence capable or creating itself.

It has technically existed for a long time (for longer than the name), but only on academical applications for extremely limited intelligences that could only create something like themselves. And that is still the only form that exists today.

It was never powerful enough to optimize ads distribution, and all the claims people are pushing around today are plain bullshit.
