Andrew Arruda pushes back in his exchange with Miles Brundage: if neither "AI" nor "artificial intelligence" solves the problem of distinguishing intelligence levels, do either of the terms help? Brundage had replied that the issue was never solved, just made more muddled. The thread began with Arruda noting how quickly "superintelligence" went from signaling taking the technology seriously to the opposite.
