it's the way they're using them to replace actual slurs, not even getting creative. they are literally js jumping on the trend to be able to say it bc it's a stand in for an actual slur.

It’s not even AI hate anymore, it’s just “wow, slur but funny” it’s also like humanizing AI just to dehumanize it again which is dumb

I just think we should stop referring to them as “slurs” (meaning the joke words for AI/robots). Doing so just feels weird to me and opens up the idea for idiots to try and use them as actual slurs for people. It’s just a joke/reference word for an inanimate technology, not a slur.

“clanker” is a made up a slur for robots. the joke is that people will be racist against robots in 30 years, but now people are replacing parts of actual slurs with robot terms to start saying them, like “wireback” or “robot monkey”.
