I don't think it's that popular to call them clankers. Somebody's trying to make it happen. Like "fetch."

- let_tim_cook_ 1y agoSounds like something a clanker would write....
- _DeadFred_ 1y agoOK wetware.
- Dilettante_ 1y agoYou showed that meatbag who's root

- athrowaway3z 1y agoThis is the 3rd instance I've seen a disjoin clique use it. Unless some major new terms comes around soon, this one will stick for some time.
- Jcampuzano2 1y agoMaybe 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.
- serf 1y agoit'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.
- lovich 1y agoAdding to the ancedata, it’s used in my circles primarily by non techie people and as a proxy for bosses using them to replace workers. “Digital scab” would be synonymous with the way they use it
- discomrobertul8 1y agoI only know "trad" in the climbing sense - what's the new slang meaning?

- Havoc 1y agoI’ve been seeing it everywhere. Including weird places like in game chat in games. Maybe a half joking reference to aimbots not sure
- albedoa 1y agoI'm on the phone with Merriam-Webster right now to let them know that internet user aldousd666 thinks it's a conspiracy. We're pulling a team together and sending investigators to your house. You are scheduled for "Good Morning America" in seven hours.
- sunaookami 1y agoIt's artificial paired with hidden political recruiting
- welfare 1y agoIt's a generational thing as well as what sites you frequent. The term clanker is used very frequently on social media as well as different chat tools, especially as responses to obvious AI Agents and Bots.
- tsumnia 1y agoI prefer to label them 'tin cans', but eh, fine, 'clanker' it is
- AlwaysRock 1y agoAs far as I can tell, its the second or third or fourth most universal term behind chatgpt (to describe all llms), llms, or ai. It also tends to be the one folks who do not really like ai use. I've been using it because it is a lot more fun, and faster, than saying llms.
- MiiMe19 1y agoQuite popular, at least among younger crowds. Hear it at least a few times a day irl, and more online.
