RSI Overused? Blogger Suggests Renaming It to AI for DL Research
burny_tech · x · 2026-09-01
Offering a critique of current AI buzzwords, the blogger argues:
- Current State: Following the hype around “World Models”, the term “RSI” (Recursive Self-Improvement) is being wildly overused, often as a marketing label.
- Proposal: The research frequently labeled as RSI should be more accurately described as “AI for DL research”—using AI to improve deep learning algorithms themselves.
- Context: This highlights the trend of automated tooling and iterative improvement in AI, while also pointing out the ambiguity in terminology definitions.
