We need a slur for people who blindly copy LLM outputs
The MAHA report got me thinking. We need a concise slur for people who blindly copy and paste LLM outputs. It needs to say that the person is lazy, ignorant, gullible, disrespectful, and dishonest all at once. Something along the lines of NPC. Maybe parrot? But that’s not too catchy. Any ideas?
I stopped listening to a daily news podcast partly because the hosts did this live on the air. They’d ask ChatGPT for a statistic, then say “ChatGPT says it’s 37% of Americans” or whatever. They never fact-checked it, and based on how consistently wrong LLMs have been in my experience, it called into question everything else they said.
It’s a great way to instantly lose trust in another person’s abilities.
That might be one of the most unhinged used of ChatGPT I've seen yet. There's virtually no linguistic difference between saying one number or another, all possible answers are gonna look identical to the machine. I'd like to see these slopgobblers try to ask the same question several times and see the results
An argument for using ChatGPT and sharing its response is that sharing what ChatGPT said can, in fact, contribute meaningfully—just like quoting a book, article, or expert. If the AI’s response adds insight, solves a problem, or sparks discussion, then referencing it is a valid form of contribution. Dismissing it entirely overlooks the evolving role of AI as a tool in public discourse.
Evertime I tell them that I also have access to chatgpt and if I wanted to ask it I would, I only asked real ppl for answers from real ppl, if you need to ai or even use google, I'm good, I can do that on my own.
Coworker regularly sends me llm slop when i ask him a question. He has a PhD in relevant field. Its so ridiculous. I end up answering the question myself but realizing thats just freeing him from the work so just going to start replying that’s unacceptable
Tell the boss. Or the boss' boss. Because if the bean counters get even a hint that a whole PhD can be replaced with a computer, they'll do it yesterday. And then you're in the same situation with less overhead.
No hes just not wanting to figure out what im asking him about as he sees it as auxiliary to his main tasks even though im the engineer building the hardware for his experiments
I could support "lemmings" for sure. They follow one another to their manufactured death, just like those rodents in the movie that someone swept off a cliff.
But they're worse than cheaters. They're cheating off of hallucinations. It's like you're cheating off of spark notes for the movie instead of the book, totally unaware that they made a bunch of changes. They're stupid cheaters.
The premise of this post is almost impressively stupid. You're trying to make "fetch" happen without even bothering to come up with "fetch" first, while asking the people it's supposed to catch on with to come up with it for you.
Calling them "fakers" seems to get them all huffy already. And if you really want to piss off an AI "prompt writer", point out to them that they aren't actual artists.
personally I like septics and vaicunts, but calling someone a ninny(ninnai) is so much fucking fun and will clearly infuriate even the most brain dead person.
I don't think I've seen "ninny" in my life. It might be because English isn't my first language, or perhaps I'm lacking some knowledge but I don't frequently come across new words these days. I'd argue a lot of people including most brain dead ones would have no idea what you're talking about.
It's quite an old-fashioned word - you might find it in some classic literature. Less so online. Short for 'nincompoop', I think - both words mean a foolish and incompetent person.
