Phrases in computing that might need retiring
I was expecting &quot;master&quot; and &quot;slave&quot; to show up since I&#x27;ve seen that argument being made (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.eetimes.com&#x2F;its-time-for-ieee-to-retire-master-slave&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.eetimes.com&#x2F;its-time-for-ieee-to-retire-master-s...</a>), but I have a hard time taking it seriously.<p>I agree about AI though. The rush to exploit the phrase as a marketing term has killed it&#x27;s original meaning. Once we actually have AI we&#x27;re going to need something else to call it. I&#x27;ve always kind of liked the distinction Mass Effect made between Virtual Intelligence and Artificial Intelligence&#x2F;Synthetic Intelligence, but I guess it&#x27;s too late to start calling what we have now VI. Synthetic&#x2F;Inorganic Intelligence is still on the table for the real thing though and it&#x27;d be better than something like AI+ or AI 2.0
