It is now "officially" SI slop. 
Truthfully, I hope that the new phrase "SI" doesn't catch on, because "super intelligence" ignores the danger of "dumb artificial intelligence", as illustrated in Robert Sheckley's 1953 Sci-Fi story "Watchbird". Perhaps more relevant than in 1953, it's a story about an AI mass-surveillance system designed to reduce violent crime.

I am still not convinced it is AI much less SI.
I have seen enough YouTube videos to take whatever they say with a grain of salt.
How many times have I seen a racing story where the voice could not even pronounce the names of the drivers, or the clip is reversed and stock cars are going the wrong way around a track.

Think of the character of the people developing and promoting AI/SI.
