👀 Hear Me Out… What If We Stopped Calling It “AI”? 🤖🧠

Artificial Intelligence has changed everything — how we work, think, create, and even how I manage to look like a genius when someone needs a policy or SOP written on the fly. But lately, I’ve been stuck on one little detail…

Why do we call it artificial?

There’s nothing fake about what it does. It learns, adapts, helps us hit deadlines, solve problems, and — let’s be honest — usually writes better emails than I do. That doesn’t sound “artificial.” That sounds like… intelligence.

So, what if we called it something that better reflects what it really is? Here's my proposal:

🚀 Synthelligence
A shiny, new word blending synthetic + intelligence. It has a sci-fi sleek feel to it, but more importantly, it actually reflects what this tech is — not artificial, just different.

So going forward, I'm rolling with Synthelligence (formerly known as AI) in my communications.
Think of it like “the artist formerly known as Prince,” but for machines that can write essays, analyze data, and generate dad jokes.

What are your thoughts?

Are you down to jump on board with the rebranding movement… or do you think it should be called something else entirely?

“Synthelligence: Intelligence, redefined for the digital age.”
