My opinion of AI/LLMs aside, I think that even the joking use of a made-up slur against non-humans still legitimizes the general use of slurs (and many who use real slurs believe their targets are subhuman).
This is a very good point and to take it further, it almost legitimizes the AI as well. By using the slurs against the AI in an effort to dehumanize it, it in turn places it in more anthropomorphized position of needing to be dehumanized, if that makes sense.
And yeah, I just find slurs crude and distasteful in any form.
Slurs seems to be okay for things considered sub-human or not human at all which should be viewed as extremely ironic but for some reason isn't.
Dehumanization is when influencers convince some humans to put other humans in 5hat subhuman category, along with the cockaroaches and varmints.
