    It’s a term people are trying to turn into a slur for either AI or people who use AI, depending on the circumstances. It seems to come from the Clone Wars show where it’s used derisively to refer to battle droids.

    Thanks for the heads up, I deleted the duplicate comment.

      Ah gotcha. So I don’t want language models shoved into everything but if someones going to use a slur for people based off joints clanking around, I want in on being called that. I might just start telling people I re-enabled Gemini on my phone and respond to everyone who calls someone that with AI generated shit memes to make sure.
