alt Hacker NewsA few weeks ago Donald Trump put a series of polls via Truth Social and Twitter with 3 choices for a replacement name for Artificial Intelligence (which according to him makes it sound like it's fake when it's actually real).
The initial choices were: "Supreme Intelligence", "Superior Intelligence", "Extreme Intelligence". [0]
Then he removed "Supreme Intelligence" because he said it reminded people of the failing Supreme Court, and it was down to just "Superior" or "Extreme". [1]
Then, presumably after some industry people talked him into a compromise, he decided it was actually between "Superior" or "Super Intelligence", and the latter won. [2]

nobody tried proposing silicon intelligence? seems a much less loaded and more appropriate term
Then he did an executive order officiating the renaming [1]. Now The White House considers people who still use the term "AI" as "THE ENEMY" [2]

Then he announced via Social Media that the White House considers anyone who uses the term “Artificial Intelligence” the enemy.
