Trump's Not-So Super Intelligent Effort to Rename Artificial Intelligence
The midterm elections are less than a month away. You might, therefore, expect Republicans to fixate on political messaging that galvanizes loyal voters and attracts independents, especially since the polls suggest that the GOP is facing the loss of both the House and the Senate.
TL;DR
- Trump has declared anyone using 'artificial intelligence' instead of 'super intelligence' as 'THE ENEMY'.
- He signed an executive order requiring U.S. government agencies to use 'super intelligence'.
- This messaging is considered self-destructive for the GOP close to the midterm elections.
- Trump's focus on this name change distracts from key voter concerns like the economy.
- The move risks making Republicans appear absurd, malicious, and detached from reality.
- The rhetoric harms Trump's image, similar to negative perceptions of President Biden.
