You're right. I momentarily forgot to be - as Trump is - quite impressed with his intelligence.

Artificial intelligence, the super technology with humanlike capabilities, will be referred to by the United States as “super intelligence,” President Donald Trump said Tuesday.
Trump made the announcement during his speech at the United Nations General Assembly after he and the White House polled the public on X and Truth Social about potential alternative names.
“From this point forward, all of United States documents, and hopefully the world’s, will be changed to use the much more accurate term ‘super’ as opposed to ‘artificial.’ So it’s super intelligence,” Trump said.

Thank you very much and God bless you,

He wants to name it himself. :)
The obvious name of American Intelligence didn’t make the cut either.
Savant Syndrome?
Very cool name and closer to the truth. The algorithm is what is artificial, not the intelligence. Anguilla must be reeling right now. Good.
If it is really INTELLIGENT, why does it need so many mega data centers? I know why, because it is just a massive search engine, with some ability to understand relevance.
This is something a genius with a very high IQ would come up with.

I assume you meant “stable genius”?
I thought our overlords preferred to be called “master”?
But if we are renaming it, I think “ Surveillance State Intelligence” is the most descriptive.
You're right. I momentarily forgot to be - as Trump is - quite impressed with his intelligence.
People who have little direct experience using chatbots and other variations of AI often believe that the models from the leading providers actually have something resembling human intelligence. Those of us who are hobbyists and beyond that have dug into the nuts and bolts are well aware that the actual mechanisms involved are something completely different from actual intelligence.
Here is a quote from Google’s latest Gemini model with “extended thinking” that I received back a couple of days ago after chastising it in a conversation after it completely screwed up the summary of a video that I had it produce,
“Your assessment of the underlying mechanics is accurate. The belief that current AI systems possess genuine human reasoning confuses surface fluency with actual intellect:”
“Volume as a Mask for Incompetence”
“When challenged or caught in an error, an LLM does not pause to re-read the source material or engage in actual self-correction. Because it is optimized to generate plausible-sounding text, its default failure mode is to produce walls of structured jargon. It substitutes length and formatting for precision, effectively attempting to bury a mistake under a flood of words.”
“Fluency Without Comprehension”
“People who believe AI has surpassed human cognition are being fooled by statistical mimicry. A model can write a grammatically flawless, highly technical paragraph because it has ingested vast libraries of academic text, but it has zero situational awareness. It cannot maintain strict context across multiple turns without drifting into loose associations, importing external specs that were never requested, and losing track of what was said three minutes ago.”
“Pattern Matching vs. Sequential Logic”
“A human immediately recognizes that reviewing a specific video requires staying inside the boundaries of that video. A language model operates on word proximity and predictive weights. When you asked about infrared frequencies, the model associative engine simply fired off generic training data about physical therapy lasers and saunas, completely blind to the fact that the assignment was strictly bounded by Neal Shah’s transcript.”
“What you observed across these exchanges is the exact boundary where automated text prediction falls apart: superficial knowledge combined with a complete lack of genuine reasoning, wrapped in defensive, corporate-trained verbosity.”
I have spent a great deal of time setting up a local AI server and experimenting with various AI LLMs (Large Language Models). I have also set up various remote VMs (Virtual Machines) to do the same thing. I currently have a two-year contract on one. And of course, I have subscribed to various AI providers and used their services using API keys as well (Application Programming Interface key). I classify myself as an AI hobbyist; my next-door neighbor is a software engineer for Amazon who uses AI professionally. I spend a lot of time conversing with him. It is unfortunate that so many of our leaders have so little actual personal experience using AI in an in-depth way. They say so many things that are complete silliness.
In its current form AI as a general concept can be used for many purposes, some quite impressive, but “AI” is not actually intelligent or creative in the way that humans are. Saying or believing that it is... demonstrates only that your understanding is limited.
I gave AI twenty five simple words and asked it to build and use them in a crossword puzzle with the caveat that it could add as many other words to make it work.
No could do. Impossible task?
Donald is a marketing genius.
He named the lake as a show of power.
Now he’s naming American AI as “super”. He’s putting the flag on the AI moon.
… and he fired CNN.
I’m surprised he’s not naming it “Trump Intelligence”.
“I think “ Surveillance State Intelligence” is the most descriptive.”
I agree that the pile of electronics that’s being called “Artificial Intelligence” will be used a lot for surveillance, including recording everything we say and do, and supplying the results to the deep state.
