> forcing language change seldom works, and ultimately, all they’re really doing is ushering us onto the next euphemism. They may banish “the R-word”, but soon enough, you’ll walk by a middle school playground and overhear “That movie was so developmentally disabled”.
I'm using "retard" because the term has extensive cultural baggage and everyone here has childhood memories of bullies labeling their victims as "retards". It hurts to have the label applied to you. For that reason I think these comments are going to stick with people once they leave this comments section.
I understand the risks of using this sort of language, and yet still I have determined that it is prudent to use the harshest rhetorical weapons that we have available to resist the large AI firms.
"Clanker" much less potent, much less powerful. I want an anti-AI slogan that stays in people's minds after they leave this comments section, and I think "AI is for retards" is that slogan.

Vulgarity makes the message stick in people's minds.
AI is for retards.
Fuck these AI retards.
The marketing departments of the major LLM firms have done a phenomenal job of creating narratives which subvert the possibility of liberal discourse on this issue.
For that reason, I'm choosing to demean the (frankly, retarded) users of AI.

A human being as exceptionally stupid as an LLM chatbot could not possibly get hired for any type of job. A human being as exceptionally stupid as an LLM chatbot is too stupid to survive.
To say that LLM chat bots are "slow" or "stupid" or "misleading" is to misrepresent how terribly inadequate their performance is.
The only way to justify trillion dollar valuations is to sell cruelty-free robot slaves which replace white collar labor for pennies on the dollar.
Even though it's a complete and total sham, there's no American agency willing to or capable of prosecuting these firms for fraud, so they really have very strong incentives to keep up the lie.
