Artificial superintelligence is a specific thing that doesn’t exist yet. A ban on it would be a cautionary measure in case of future advancements. A ban on artificial intelligence writ large would arguably ban my high school project that played Tic-Tac-Toe optimally.
It’s probably important to note that ASI (and its more conservative form, artificial general intelligence or AGI) are goals, which is to say that they describe the result and not the technology used to get there. LLMs are a specific technology that I’m pretty convinced will never achieve AGI, let alone ASI. Specific-purpose AI has been around for decades (e.g. Deep Blue, which was world-class at chess in the '90s), and LLMs aren’t really any different; their specific purpose is completing sentences, though, and that tricks a lot of people into thinking that they can actually perform metacognition in the way that an AGI would.
It’s been irritating and frustrating to watch; gamers nexus is honestly a way better source these days - not to mention, imo they are unironically one of the absolute best investigative journalists out there at this point. They’ve broken a number of very deep-dive stories, some of which have turned into big deals in the wider news media landscape (see: Intel gen 13/14 CPUs).
Jesus, how far has toms hardware fallen that they pick up trumps super intelligence bullshit

Asi is an actual industry term. I haven’t read the article but it is possible they do mean the specific asi rather than agi.
Ed: If you read it they specifically mean asi not agi aka “ai” and they use the term ai and asi correctly throughout.

A stupid industry THAT HAS ABSOLUTELY NO WAY TO FUCKING MAKE MONEY.
Fucking bootlicker
It existed before Trump. Blinding hate is well… Blinding. Chill out

They’ve been glazing the AI industry for a few years at least
