President floats second executive order after discovering artificial general intelligence would require an even more impressive name
WASHINGTON—One day after signing an executive order rechristening AI “super intelligence,” President Donald Trump told reporters Wednesday that his administration was already considering another name change after discovering that an even more advanced form of artificial intelligence may be right around the corner.
Speaking to reporters while descending the stairs from Air Force One, Trump defended the terminology.
“Sir, why did you decide to rename AI ‘super intelligence’?” a reporter asked.
“Well, a lot of people are saying, ‘Isn’t it terrific?’” Trump replied. “So I went to ChatGPT for other words for ‘terrific,’ and it suggested ‘super,’ which I would have thought of probably, but yeah, I think it’s super. So that’s why.”
Trump added that the technology had already become an indispensable member of his inner circle.
“I think it’s terrific that now I can have a team of advisers on my dictaphone and I don’t need a loyalty test,” he said. “It knows I’m the greatest president that ever lived, hands down.”
“Oh, so you’re using AI these days, too?” a reporter asked.
“It’s called super intelligence now,” Trump quipped.
“Okay. Are you using super intelligence, and how are you using it?”
“I love that I can now make lots of Truth Social posts and real photos super easy,” Trump said. “See that? Super. It really is. Everyone’s saying so.”
The president said he also occasionally consults the technology on national security matters.
“Once in a while I use it for the tough military questions because it helps me stay smarter than the generals,” Trump said.
Asked whether he had learned much about prompting, Trump appeared to bristle.
“I’m not a big fan of teleprompters,” he said. “It’s all fake news.”
The exchange reportedly became more complicated when another reporter asked Trump what his administration planned to do once AGI, or artificial general intelligence, arrived.
“Well, with AGI—artificial great intelligence—around the corner, I realized I might have boxed myself in again,” Trump said. “Because if regular intelligence is already super, you need something bigger. Like much bigger,” he added, glancing down at his hands.
Trump said administration officials were therefore considering a second executive order formally designating AGI as “super-duper intelligence.”
“Because that’s really what it is, isn’t it?” Trump said. “Super-duper. Super intelligence is really great, obviously. But super-duper is even greater. Everybody knows this.”
Asked what he would call the next level of artificial intelligence beyond AGI if developed, Trump paused.
“That would be tremendous, and it's a very important question,” he said. “A lot of people are looking into this.”
Trump then pulled out his phone and asked ChatGPT for another word for “tremendous.”
After reading the response, the president nodded. “Enormous,” he said. “That’s a very good word.” Trump stared at the screen for several seconds.
“Super-Duper Enormous Intelligence,” he said. “SDEI. I like that! Or, Super-DEI."
