I'd go further and say: The current name is outright cringeworthy.

Agreed. The name seems like an advertisement that you think everyone outside your company or community is less intelligent. IMO that crosses the line separating puffery / self-promotion from outright insult.

Definitely not intended that way. We'll put some thought into changing it based on everyone's feedback.

Thanks for the feedback! We're open to a change. Let me know if you have any thoughts.

how about "the ai folks". Emphasis on 'the'

or as Sean Parker would say: Drop the "The", just "ai folks".

The Neural Network

Seconded.

Solid

It’s like asking Bill Gates to join a community ‘filthyRich’ it correctly correlates with his wealth. But we also know, he would instantly hit the spam button on such a pitch.

Funny, had the very same thought.

After I cringed at the name, I thought you must mean the people who develop the sharpest AI minds. If so, that would be clever.

But yeah, a different name would be better.
