not to be pretentious but yall should really read this… C.H.A.T. (Come Here for All Talk)

it's so fucking weird how many clanker lovers and gooners are in relationships, some of them even being married with kids. I genuinely feel like there are more of them than there are isolated and stereotypically lonely people in these spaces

Yeah I don't know either. Like I don't even understand the appeal. Ignoring the fact that it's obviously sad as shit to even HAVE an AI girlfriend, the responses it gives are so dull. You can feel the AI dripping from it, hardly even human. Me, I'm lonely as shit and resorting to a generated textbot as a girlfriend will be the LAST thing I do. I'd become an extrovert sooner than the time I fall in love with an AI.

Side note: Why do we call this AI shit "clanker"? Chatbots aren't even mechanical! THEY DON'T EVEN "CLANK"! #badslurdesign.

it originates from star wars. clone troopers developed a slur for battle droids during the clone wars i think, called them "clankers" cause yknow robots. in real life, with the advent of stuff like ai chatbots, a couple people started jokingly using "clanker" as a term referring to ai stuff. it originally started as just a star wars joke. then people started taking it way too seriously and it just became the irl robot slur i guess

moral of the story: clanker is a battle droid slur first and a chatgpt slur second
