    The idea that we can create a “slur” for an inanimate object is the result of corporate propaganda.

    Marketing teams would attempt to use propaganda to humanize this auto correct software before admitting it can’t do what they said it could.

    In the Manual it says you can whip your clankers as hard as you want. If they don’t malfunction within 3 hours then it’s all covered under warranty!

    I think we should have different ones for different brands… Tesla bots can be Jerry’s since he’s Musk is a Nazi.

    Why does BJs still have those stupid robots riding around the store? It was cute the first month but now they just trigger my anxiety.

    clankers are human made & is not human, so doesn’t come with human rights and does not require basic respect.

    I mean they don’t even understand the concept of being offended or slurs.

    Finally white supremacy feelings for everybody without a bad consciousness …

    with the usual threats

    We have a social need right now to respond to the proliferation of AI, especially when AI is taking human jobs, especially when they’re replacing online creators," Aleksic said.

    and promises

    In Dorr’s view, which he describes as optimistic, this creates a chance for a world in which humans will be free from toil.

    Why not do something new?

      Toaster is good. We’ve used that for years and it’s memed hard. Its origin is toward AI and physical robots. Even though it’s a slur based on the first model Cylon having a toaster face, it implies robots are simple and they generate ridiculous amounts of heat to do a simple task.

      We don’t need to reinvent the wheel here just because someone had a viral video on TikTok. Clanker sounds so dumb too. Especially for protocol bots that have no moving parts beyond data centre fans and pumps.

      when I first saw this reply, it was only a few minutes old and I think or I hope I was the 2nd or 3rd upvote on it. Now its the most popular comment on this and I am glad to have been in consensus on it.

      Toasters is the best phrase for this

      Toaster. You put bread in, you push a button, you get toast out.

      Simple. Stupid. Cheap machine. Capable of doing one thing well.

      It’s a great insult.
