Excerpt of the executive order https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2026/09/inaugurating-the-era-of-super-intelligence/ from last week:

The terminology used by the Federal Government should reflect the transformative capabilities of these technologies and the limitless opportunities they create for the American people. Accordingly, the term “Super Intelligence” more appropriately captures the promise, potential, and rapidly advancing capabilities of these technologies. It is therefore the policy of my Administration that, to the maximum extent permitted by law, the executive branch shall use the terms “Super Intelligence” and “SI” in place of “Artificial Intelligence” and “AI” and will not acknowledge the usage of “Artificial Intelligence” and “AI” in any applicable setting.

It's Large Language Models (LLM). You should not call it AI anyway.

except that people are pissed at things like image generators too, which aren't LLMs at all. So we use the umbrella term "AI" which people understand.

[-] YetAnotherNerd@sopuli.xyz 1 points 6 days ago

Both are generative AI

[-] weps@lemmy.world 0 points 6 days ago

LLM is a subfield of a subfield of AI.

What's your point? LLM is still a part of AI.

Yeah, but people think it's Intelligent, which causes issues.

Well, the companies that train them also want you to mistake it for a person, what with "thinking..." and whatnot.

[-] weps@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

I see your point. Like how the cloud isn't a cloud and a bug in a computer is rarely a real bug.

It's been "AI" for like 70 years now. The term will probably stay.

[-] edgesmash@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

It's important to reiterate to non-techies that what we commonly refer to today as AI is all essentially a best-next-word generator.

[-] weps@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

That's not where the money is though

The language has already moved on.

* Dislike it all you want, that is the truth.
We don't fight game AI being called AI. Why? Because it's part of the language. Everyone knows what it means and that it's not actually anything intelligent. Explaining LLM to another PM every week instead of just saying AI or gen AI just makes you annoying at this point. Noone cares.
