On: US President says he will ban the term 'artificial intelligence'

[dumberquestions]

Artificial as in synthetic or man-made, everyone knows what it means, you're just giving a post-hoc rationalization for whatever game he's playing.

[mellosouls → dumberquestions]

No. There's nothing post-hoc about my position.

Some of us have been thinking deeply about this subject for many years.

Long before the LLM era I (and I'm sure many others) considered AI a misnomer in the context of human-level intelligence, tho I did (apparently wrongly) consider sentience a prerequisite.

Trump may be coming at this from different motivations, but it's entirely consistent.
