    And so the rebranding continues... "artificial intelligence" in the 1950s was used to differentiate itself from "cybernetics". Then once it became unmarketable due to the AI winters, we saw "machine learning", and all kinds of "<term> recognition". Now that we have "AI" as a term for any classifier, people who meant the more ambitious version moved to "AGI". Seems like "super intelligence" just moves the treadmill up another step. Curious what we would call it next.

    It's because "artificial" sounds scary. If you think about it, nobody would use "artificial" for branding in any other context.

    They probably are needy of some sort of government subsidy or trying to avoid being charged with something. Massaging balls usually has a reason...

    Like lobbying, but spineless.

    Seriously, that compulsive need to rebrand everything is contagious and is spreading amongst the US "elites".
