WHAT’S WITH THIS NAME? (Memo from the Oval)

Who named it “Artificial” intelligence anyway? Loser branding.
The moniker doesn’t pussy-grab the bigness of the thing.
As a name it’s underpowered. Cuckish. Smacks of low T.
Make intelligence great again, for the love of Pete! MIGA!

Mega. Ultra. Hyper. Uber intelligence with those two dots. Too nerdy?
How about, Knock-your-socks-off intelligence.
Or, Not-your-daddy’s-Oldsmobile intelligence.
Okay, too hard to sloganize, I get it. Let’s ask Meta Muse.

Super intelligence! That’s it. Has a bottabing to it.
Takes callifragilistic to the next level. Thank you, EmZee.
SI sits bigly on awesome. Knock yourselves out, frontier labs.
And hey. You be careful now. Don’t do anything I wouldn’t do!

Ha-ha. Ha-ha. Ha-ha. Ha-ha. Ha-ha. Ha-ha. Ha-ha.

      I suspect new and creative superlatives are in the offing from source of which we speak. I’ve just finished Harari’s history of humans titled “Sapiens,” and it paints our breed as devastators, goes at length into how ancient man wiped out Australia’s fauna. I propose “Sapiens Intelligence.” It captures our “lethality,” a favorite term in these parts. Greetings to you from the dark side! 🙂

      • ‘Sapiens Intelligence’ sounds very appropriate – though perhaps we need to change ‘intelligence’ to ‘lethality’ or ‘stupidity’. I am interested in hearing about the wiping out of Australia’s fauna by ancient man – the current evidence is that we have done a very bad job of protecting fauna since European colonisation, so we are continuing the pattern. And then there is climate change.

        Stay safe in the dark side!
