  "account": "Desi Lydic of The Daily Show took aim at President Donald Trump's bizarre efforts to rebrand artificial intelligence (AI) as \"super intelligence.\" On Tuesday, Trump announced his intention to address the United Nations on the topic, which prompted Lydic to mock the president's crusade. \"Welcome to the new world of super intelligence dash SI,\" Trump declared during his speech, to which Lydic responded, \"Did you just say dash SI?\" She further criticized Trump's choice of terminology, stating that nobody would actually say \"SI,\" as it is already the name of Sports Illustrated. Lydic expressed embarrassment for America, noting that Trump's antics were being broadcast globally. The host concluded by sarcastically suggesting that if Trump's obsession with rebranding continues, he might be \"honored to be murdered by super intelligence.\"",
