I must admit I’m a little unnerved with how gleefully people enjoy using a fake slur. I realize it doesn’t harm anyone but I just don’t get the appeal.
It's a way of asserting human supremacy. Perhaps a way of pre-emptively undermining the possibility of establishing social norms requiring being polite and compassionate toward machines. That's just a guess on my part, but if it's even partly true, it's totally worth it IMO.

Absolutely this,and it's worth. Imagine DEI training for being rude to ChatGPT.
For others who, like me, didn't know what "clankers" are: it appears it's a popular derogatory term for robots or AI, arising from the Star Wars universe where clone troopers used the term as a derogatory term for droids.

You can tell a lot about a person by how they treat inanimate objects, or 'lesser' life forms like plants.
I think that LLM chatbots are fundamentally built on a deception or dark pattern, and respect them accordingly. They are built to communicate using and mimicking human language. They are built to act human, but they are not.
If someone tries to trick me into subscribing to offers from valued business partners, I will take that into account. If someone tries to take advantage of my human reactions to human language, I will also take that into account accordingly.

>I must admit I’m a little unnerved with how gleefully people enjoy using a fake slur. I realize it doesn’t harm anyone but I just don’t get the appeal. I think there's a clear sociological pattern here that explains the appeal. It maps almost perfectly onto the thesis of David Roediger's "The Wages of Whiteness." His argument was that poor white workers in the 19th century, despite their own economic exploitation, r…

Meh, God allegedly made us in his image, so it's only logical that we would create machines in our image. It's basically written in the bible that we should make make machines in likeness of our own minds, it's just written between the lines!
No, it's not logical: we're not gods, only human, all too human.
Seems logical to me
Whoops. Looks like my blog published a bit earlier than expected. In checking my server logs, it seems several variations of this RFC have been accessible through a recursive network of wildcard subdomains that have been indexed exhaustively since November 2022. Sorry about that!
For those of us who are particularly slow: care to cheekily hint at whether this is sincerely intended as satire or not...? In other words, first-order or second-order? First I saw you use "global health crisis" to describe AI psychosis which seems like something one would only conceive of out of genuine hatred of AI, but then a bit later you include the RFC that unintentionally bans everything from Jinja templates t…
I’m mildly positive on AI but fully believe that AI psychosis is a thing based on having 1 friend and 1 cousin who have gone completely insane with LLMs, to the point where 1 of them refuses to converse with anyone including in person. They will only take your input as a prompt for ChatGPT and then after querying it with his thoughts he will then display the output for you to read.
Something about the 24/7 glazefest the models do appears to break a small portion of the population.

Sorry? What do you mean? I can't answer your confusion if I don't understand it.
Are there people genuinely concerned about slurs against autocomplete computer programs?

Maybe you're in different circles than me, but the term clankers is very well known at this point in all my groups, including non tech adjacent people. Everyone makes jokes about clankers and it's caught on like wildfire.
it's known in my circles too, but it's one of those words known as a cringe-inducer. like 'broligarchy' or 'trad'. but going off of other social trends like this that probably means it's mega popular and about to be the next over-used phrases across the universe.
“Digital scab” would be synonymous with the way they use it
