Merriam-Webster has added a batch of artificial-intelligence and computing terms to its online dictionary, including 'agentic', 'AGI', 'compute', 'vibe coding' and 'natural language processing'. Lexicographer Peter Sokolowski said the words were selected after appearing repeatedly in mainstream media, with specialist 'definers' writing definitions aimed at general readers.
The Norwegian Consumer Council has published a second YouTube video in its 'anti-enshittification' campaign, featuring a bearded mascot called the Enshittificator who partners with a personified Death character. The pair are shown deliberately degrading products such as TVs, toothbrushes and smartphone storage, continuing a series that began in February with a video showing the mascot's car brakes failing due to an unpaid subscription.
Merriam-Webster has officially added roughly 1,400 new words to its dictionary, including AI-era terms like AGI, the noun form of 'compute,' and 'uncanny valley.' The additions reflect how deeply artificial intelligence terminology has entered everyday language.
