I’m not sure this terminology has reached fixation yet and is still provisional. For example, I haven’t seen it bubble up to replace talk in AI safety writing that would otherwise talk about superintelligence or strong optimization pressure. It seems mostly geared towards folks talking about policy and explaining why policy is needed, so caveat that it’s a bit of jargon (like lots of things we say around here) that may have specific meaning that make it hard to answer this question because TAI is going to naturally be geared towards the stuff that’s not here or almost here in order to get folks to take action rather than on the “boring” stuff we already live with and can see that it’s not immediately transforming everything on the order of hours/days.
Meta-comment on transformative AI.
