Not to sound rude or anything, but the name is kinda douchey and outputting.

Fair enough. Any suggestions?
Not a clue, I'm bad at names lol. Sharp Minds would probably be fine, just Sharpest Minds makes it sound like you're talking down to anyone who isn't involved in AI (which is like 99.99999999% of people).

Or if it was a clever reference to something in AI that made you sound smart but because it was a clever reference comes off more funny than rude.

I actually took it as people who were building the sharpest minds, not necessarily those who had them.
How about "Mind Makers". I think many people will have a natural resistance to joining a community named after how smart the members are. Imagine wearing a button that says "I'm the smartest".
