i was under the impression that were explicitly against genAI but i found that some people are actually VERY pro genai and quite dismissive of its risks. this happened on lemmy but i saw people getting downvoted for saying that genAI in its current state is harmful to the environment. i saw the old bullshit of how ”i use AI for art because i cant draw”, it was crazy. i called someone a Promptitute and someone unironically told me not to say that, just so much. so can everybody pls affirm you dont support that crap.

another user straight up admitted that they use AI as a friend and to gn to… i dont care how much we have in common ideologically, i cant support you gning to chatgpt and thinking its your friend…

    ridiculous stretch of the meaning of the word “slur”. if it isn’t applied to people it can’t be a slur

    it functions well as a derogatory term for LLM chatbots because it sounds like a slur, but that doesn’t make it a slur

      Sounds like a slur, used like a slur, carrys the same energy as a slur, but since the target is not human it doesnt cause harm to anyone at all

      Youre coping lol

        slurs are bad because they because they hurt people. the term clanker isn’t targeted at people, so it isn’t a slur

        if you think critical for two seconds about what makes a slur a slur and what makes them offensive you will see this

          Hard disagree. Using language like that even if not targetting real groups still normalizes the use of similar language towards other groups, including real racism, and can still cause harm to people due to the similarities to real slurs

          Youre just simply ignoring the impact and optics of your actions to make yourself feel better

          Who cares if it is or is not a slur, it causes harm to people and therefore needs to go.

          CW misogyny

          “I’m not targetting women when I call a female dog a …, that’s just what they’re called” type shit.

          like you can break out the dictionary and prove point by point how it is technically not a slur, but if it causes harm then I don’t care. Words aren’t bad because they inherently contain the property of being a slur, they’re bad if they cause hurt to people.

      People have been saying “clanker” on star wars games online for years referring to the droids, it’s definitely the same people who often say other slurs, like calling something “gay” as a slur is still a slur even if it’s not referring to a person.
