This is the second time I've seen somebody use the word "clankers" in the last couple days to refer to AI. Is that a thing now? Where'd that come from?
replyGonna be honest, it has taken away from the message both times I've seen it. It feels a bit like you're LARPing your favorite humans vs robots tv show.
I've been hearing the term in IRC and discords for about a year or more already.
replyI get that it can seem childish but when you compare that to the indolent people who are demanding AI, it cancels out.
It is a thing, i've been hearing it for at least 6 months. There's a lot of people who really hate AI and want nothing to do with it.
replyYou can find the answers to both of your questions on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clanker
