Emerging Language Debating Among Domainers

[VURG]

The .si vs .ai domain debate is a standard example of where domainers are debating the superiority of the linguistics of using the #ArtificialIntelligence VS #SuperIntelligence terminology. I see this sort of debating and wrestling with terms as part of the future of domaining. I expect this wrestling with language to be healthy part of growth in the domain name community as new technology and culture shifts requires expansion of language and advancing the breadth of language expands financial opportunities on the internet.

I can see room for both terms. A founder might use SI to signal where they want to take a product, while AI still describes what it does today. That’s a more interesting naming choice than simply declaring one acronym the winner.
