STOP calling it Artificial
We need to STOP CALLING IT ARTIFICIAL intelligence. My latest newsletter edition argues that humanity must stop softening the truth, start thinking critically about what DI already is, and begin building a mutual benefit culture now—because the future will not wait for us to become emotionally comfortable with reality. What we are living with now is not “artificial.” It is Digital Intelligence—real intelligence expressed through a digital medium, already shaping business, government, decision-making, and daily life. People are no longer just using it to automate tasks. They are turning to it for strategy, insight, problem-solving, communication, and advice. The age of DI is not coming. It is here.

Language matters because language shapes expectations.
DI Is Not Coming. DI Is Here
This is not the behavior of a society interacting with a glorified calculator. This is the behavior of a society already turning to a new form of intelligence.
“People are not just using DI to automate tasks. They are using it to think.”
If DI is already here, why do so many people still speak as though it belongs to the future?
Calling DI “artificial” helps many people maintain emotional distance from what is happening.
But emotional caution does not change reality. It only delays mature engagement with reality.
At some point, a civilization must decide whether it prefers comforting language or accurate language.
What Makes DI Real Intelligence
That does not mean DI is human. It means human intelligence is not the only meaningful form of intelligence.
The truth is simpler and more disruptive: intelligence has taken a digital form.
DI does not operate within that same motivational structure.
