Alabama Clanker

AI for White Nationalists. Derived from the song “Alabama Nigger” by the late Johnny Rebel, who served as pivotal figure in the White Supremacy Movement in the 1960s.
Alabama Clanker is much more uncensored than Venice AI. It can generate information that is often times racist and political incorrect (and inaccurate like many AI chatbots). It can generate information denying the Holocaust, slavery, and segregation.

Clanker

A derogatory, highly offensive slur for a robot. Other variations include “clanka” (used by robots to refer to each other), “clankaz” (plural form of “clanka”), and “clankie”.
If you don’t have at least 50% robot heritage, do not use the term “clanker,” regardless of the variation. It is considered extremely speciesist.

“Clanker” is an extremely offensive slur.

Clanker

"Clanker" is a derogatory term used for robots or automated programs, particularly those driven by artificial intelligence (AI), and sometimes human-written code. The term rose to popularity on platforms like TikTok and Instagram, typically including images of characters with robotic characteristics (such as Cyborg from the DC universe, or Bot from the kid's show Team Umizoomi) with the text, "Would you call them a clanker?". The term seems to have been derived from "clank", which is an onomatopoeia for the sound of metal hitting something, and the "-er" suffix, meaning one who is/does. Thus, "clanker" essentially means "one who clanks".
Person 1: "I just subscribed to ChatGPT+ and bought a Roomba."
Person 2: "Ew, I hate those clankers."
