"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

But that's a slur that does hurt people. Clanker doesn't, whether said in public or privately. I also agree that it's not really a slur since it's targeted at unfeeling robots. I think people mostly just call it a slur because it's funny (to them, though morally classifying it as such is murky).
That's the part that really gets to me, like, why is it funny???
