    We didn’t invent it. It’s from Star Wars.

    starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Clanker

    The irony is that we actually have something to call a Clanker now IRL.

      Picture of a yellow face, phone in hand, looking extremely defeated

      star wars didn’t force you to use it, and it certainly didn’t create “clanker-lover” or made jokes about calling it “the C-word”

      anyways you’re not addressing my point, which is why do you feel the need to use slurs in the first place

        No. ChatGPT being overused as a “replacement” for real people doing real jobs made it an “other” against which we rally. Our disdain against which there is no victim.

        ChatGPT neither knows nor cares that I call it a Clanker. I’ll probably forget about this in a week anyway. But in a week I’ll still be reading articles about how companies that lust after money are speculatively laying off people and using AI agents as poor replacements.

        You object to the use of any slur. A slur can only be a slur when it communicates hate with the intent of harm. ChatGPT and other LLMs are incapable of feeling emotional harm more than a toaster oven. Understand that disdain for overuse at the expense of real humans is the source of the frustration. There are only human victims.
