X user jdpressman commented on Trump's bid to rename AI as "Super Intelligence," calling it a clever marketing move: it pushes people to acknowledge that existing models are already or will soon be superhuman, making the term "artificial" misleading. In a follow-up he adds he wouldn't adopt the SI label himself, but there is a real lack of formal acknowledgment that today's models are already superhuman.
