I’m still trying to make ‘sloppers’ happen. Perfectly describes the lack of thought that goes into what they produce.
It seems goofy to me — I wish we had collectively picked a term with more oomph.
I’m struggling to come up with an alternative though.

I like ‘sloppers’ as a term for the morons distrubing and consuming the shit that the clankers are excreting.

clankers make the end result that sloppers (meatbags) eat up ;)

Yeah and the make a mess of network traffic that slows everything down.
Sludgers works too, but I like slop for the LLM output, so it makes sense as the bot term of derision.

Stealing a slur from Star Wars and engaging in traditional name calling to show we disapprove of uncreative slop.
We can’t even think of an original term. We can’t think of a novel way to shit on AI. We just copy what everyone else is doing to make fun of the plagiarism machine.

Why does everyone think the term came from Star Wars? I know it was used in steampunk before then, and google suggests it goes back to a 1958 article about robots. Sorry, not trying to be pedantic, just feels like a lot of people give Star Wars unjust credit for things they didn’t actually create.

No no - it’s not plagiarism; it’s standardization.
