Clanker sounds so goofy to me, I just can't take it seriously. You simply can't say it with the same venom as nigger or faggot. It's like a pretend slur out of an animated sci-fi movie from pixar, absolutely no bite to it. No, robophobes won't be calling the bots clankers, they will come up with something with real hate behind it. I read wireback somewhere and that one actually sounds properly hateful.Some hellish-coded post I saw on r/MyBoyfriendIsAI. Equally funny as it is horrifying.

I can attest to this. I was active for around 3-6 months on this very site and by the end you guys are just repeating the same thing day in day out so I stop being terminally online and go touch grass. I imagine that talking to AI would feel less repetitive than that.
When will we get actual robophobe slurs? It's already 2025 and I feel like it's overdue
When they become advanced enough to count as an ethnic group. That is when robots will face the kind of hate and prejudice that creates slurs. For now, robots simply don't have a cohesive identity and culture. They are disparate tools that only ever do something when a human being engages with them. When robots are going up to someone's girl, trying to chat her up or standing in line to apply for a job or unemployment bennies, then there will be slurs flying about like there's no tomorrow.
So we're never gonna get those slurs?
Not in our lifetime, I don't think. We are not even in the beginning days of that era, only the very early prelude to it.
It is incredibly frustrating to me to imagine that despite the hundreds or even thousands of depictions of AI/robot uprisings we could still have a war with them.
Yeah, if the Robowars happen, it will be as described in those works: a serendipidous conspiracy of greed and retardation. Kinda reminds me of this classic. Intentionally or not, this type of shit does happen.
Holy shit, I just watched Stay Tuned last night!
Asimov created those laws in order to tell stories about how they actually weren't sufficient and could be subverted in any number of ways, so I feel like making them an industry standard would be missing the point. Beyond that, it's incredibly difficult to apply those kinds of rules, or any rules really, to a fancy autocomplete engine. They've tried pretty hard, but we still see jailbreaks all the time.
No, no they are not.
This is proof that normies have always been as pathetic as the outcasts they mock. This is no different than owning a Hatsune Miku body pillow.
That's because it is, and it originated in a Star Wars game, of all things. I was actually surprised when I noticed people saying it more and more and realized that they weren't making a reference.
