The real reason they want to change the name of AI to “Super Intelligence”
Control over our lives will be far easier if we are convinced the things that stole our jobs, removed our independence, and monitor our very existence are superior to us. While ‘artificial’ leaves room for vulnerabilities that humans can overcome because humans maintain a perceived intelligence edge, ‘super’ implies humans are sub-par and cannot win. And by corollary, the handful of masters that control the ‘super intelligent’ are far superior to everyone else.
It’s psychological warfare. Make the enemy (humans in this case) think they are defeated before a shot is even fired.
