I think this is an honest but excessive take. Using a derogatory term to refer to LLMs doesn’t mean anything that she says it does. It just doesn’t. I could easily write a thousand words on why LLMs are bad but would and have used the term ‘clanker’ in the past (in the context of ‘no clankers’ to indicate that LLM supplied responses are not welcome). The idea that this makes me akin to a Reform voter is so absurd that it’s bordering on offensive.

(The OP deleted their posts. The summary was that people who call LLMs ‘clankers’ are actually secretly bigots/racists who would use the n word if it was acceptable, and are no different to people who blame immigrants for financial problems and overall are not good people. This is not a hyperbolic interpretation, it’s directly what was said.
Edit: they blocked me rather than deleting. My client confusingly marked the posts as deleted.)

@semanticist i can still see it via your post. it is, indeed, an absurd take, on multiple levels

@mrsbeanbag Yeah, I just got blocked and my client labelled the posts as deleted. I can see someone deleting that kind of post due to the negative attention, but blocking makes sense too.

@mrsbeanbag I guess it shows that even among people nominally on the 'same side' as you, there can be a broad range of positions. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
