Selected excerpt

“…the “synthetic” is a genuine and meaningful version of something that was deliberately created (such as a laboratory-grown diamond identical to a “natural” one at the molecular level). Thus, artificial intelligence merely seems smart, but synthetic intelligence really is. We should be pursuing synthetic intelligence, not artificial intelligence.”

Synthetic statement

“Synthetic intelligence, exemplified as a genuine and deliberate creation akin to a laboratory-grown diamond identical to a ‘natural’ one at the molecular level, stands in stark contrast to artificial intelligence. While the latter merely appears smart, the former truly embodies intelligence. The advocacy for prioritizing synthetic intelligence over artificial intelligence reflects a profound emphasis on authenticity and intentional creation in the pursuit of advanced intelligence.”
