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?

That's good, because they serve up sloppy seconds.

We need another one for people who think posting, “I asked chatGPT and this is what it said…” is in anyway contributing to anything.

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

67% of statistics are made up on the spot.

The French have a good inside joke. Just call them cat farts.

That seems to be a subset of the same thing to me.

Asked ChatGPT. It gave me a couple of good ones:

  • Bothead
  • Promptpuppet
  • Promptparrot
  • Neuroshill
[–] [email protected] 30 points 6 days ago

🤣 did you blindly follow it, promptpuppet?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 5 days ago (1 children)

damn I really like neuroshill but realistically bothead is a lot easier to say.

Combining yours with the one by @[email protected], we get "Slop gobbler"

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

Slop gobbler

I propose combining the two to make "Slopper."

Edit: Another comment below made the same suggestion first.

Slop slingers are purveyors, slop gobblers are consumers.

I think I've heard "Prompt fondler"

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Too many syllables, I feel.

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

[–] [email protected] 38 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Respond with "Chatgpt, write me a reply thanking my coworker for the answer"

That's unprofessional af...

[–] [email protected] 14 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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.

hopefully he's not putting any proprietary information into whatever LLM he's using

Prompt gobbler

In school, plagiarists are called cheaters. This seems the same to me.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 days ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 days ago

Stupid is pretty accurate.

Why don't you ask chatgpt to come up with a slur?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

ironically. a good idea

i did, and it suggested LLMmings, which makes me suspicious about the one who suggested that @[email protected]

LLMBro, ... All Profit

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 days ago (1 children)

It should convey that they use prompts.

Prompt kiddie would be too close to script kiddie.

Prompter or something along the lines of teleprompter would be good.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 days ago (1 children)

meat puppet (just dancing to those random numbers)

clipboard (call them by their favorite tool)

AI zomboid (pretty straightforwardly what people can become)

?

Llamer or illmer

Just like the "lamer" term from the 80s and 90s:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamer

It basically boils down to: Someone who has no idea what they're doing. Someone who is willfully ignorant of how things work or are meant to be used.
