Clanker

A clanker is a derogatory term for a robot, android, or other artificial intelligence. The term originated from Star Wars, but has recently expanded to a general term because of the rise of AI. Typically paired with another term like "wireback" or "oil guzzler". Not to be confused with clanka, which is the non-derogatory version of the word.

Clanker

A new term used by people who aren't happy about the growing presence of robots and artificial intelligence in daily life has emerged.

"Clankers," a term from Star Wars lore used by humans and clones to derogatively refer to robots, the term first appeared in the Star Wars franchise. During the Clone Wars, a conflict between the republic and separatists, the latter used an army of robots called droids. So the word "clanker" became a common derogatory term used by protagonists toward their robotic enemies. While its use began ironically, the growing adoption of automation in almost every facet of life has some people using the term more seriously.
