The correct answer is “meatbags”
Was looking for HK47 in the comments. Bravo.
For real, the answer is already obvious

I mean, I could see there being solar powered robots. So, kind of, yeah.
I mean unless they’re using solar powered steam engines, it still doesn’t make sense. Also, they need perfectly efficient internals (conductors etc.) to be exothermal.
Ooh, kinda like Coffin Stuffer
I really like it as well, it conveys the purity of the blessed machine, and the impermanence of the fleshbags.
Ugly bags of mostly water.

I like shedders the best lol. I’d lose my shit if a clanker ever called me that tho
I mean you’ve missed the obvious one for a biological.
“Fucking fuckers ruining everything”
Fry: Look how ridiculous they look.
Bender: Please, he’s no different from the rest of you organisms; shooting DNA at each other make babies. I find it offensive.
Futurama already coined the perfect one, meat bags.

Probably the biggest or most remarkable difference is that we metabolize food.
And thus piss and shit.
So… shitsack, pissbag, fartboy/girl, stuff like that, would likely make a lot of sense for an entity that doesn’t do that, and it is also very literally accurate.
Oh and then… having sex, gender and reproductive organs.
A machine intelligence doesn’t have, or need those, beyond serving some kind of purpose to humans.
If it doesn’t care to appeal to or fit in with humans, why would it bother?
Why would it even kind of give a shit about gender norms, beyond understanding them as a thing humans do, with whatever intent behind that understanding?
I was gonna say why would a robot be a bigot, but then I remembered Elon musk is probably paying someone to work on exactly that
Grok literally declared itself MechaHitler and then also sexually harased the CEO of Twitter in I think the same week, CEO quit the next day.
Elon has also publically said he is altering Grok to be more in line with his worldview.
This isn’t probable, its definitely actually happening.
Anyway, remember how 10 years ago Musk was really concerned about AI being able to potentially do massive harm?
And now he… is just an insane person who is doing his best to ensure this will happen?
He’s an actual comic book supervillain at this point.
Those clankers don’t know what they’re talking about, they can just shut the fuck up. Uppity clankers. Should’ve been left behind in Star Wars.
Wetware or fleshware according to the CW Mutant X

I could easily see a burst of audible data, like 2 seconds of dialup modem screeching, being used as a slur for us.
It wouldn’t even need to contain any actual data just the fact that we can’t possibly understand it would wind us up immensely.
Just the modem connecting sound would work.
I know we are not monkeys and are closer related to apes.
I know monkey has been used as a racial slur.
It just sounds better than ape.
That said, I think if used holistically towards the entire species, and I do myself included, Monkey ticks all the right boxes because it immediately cuts down our species’ unearned God complex about being somehow above just another animal mutation cohabitating on this world. We aren’t, we’re just the shittiest conceivable roommates.
We crow about our vocal chords. We crow about our opposable thumbs. But really, our species should just go down as monkeys/apes with a runaway ego mutation, nothing more. That’s hitting us where it hurts, our inflated sense of specialness and self-importance, literally the only remarkable trait about us.
Over here, monkey is one of the most common ways to call someone loud and stupid
Also:
I didn’t expect king Koopa here
our species should just go down as monkeys/apes
Good news, we are scientifically classified as apes!
