the frustration experienced when dialling a large organization to speak to a real person about a specific query that isn't covered by the maze of multiple automated options, and / or the voice recognition system can't understand you
I just spent at least 10 minutes in voice-prompt hell trying to speak to someone about my traffic fine, only to discover at the end there's an option to press zero to speak to a real person

n. (Hacker Lingo) A threat actor who relies on LLMs or LLM agents to conduct their hacking and refuses to bother to learn how any of it works. The prompt kiddie is a contemptible, lower skilled version of the "script kiddie" and similarly flies in the face of all that the hacker subculture stands for - the pursuit of knowledge, respect for skills, and motivation to self-teach are just three of the hacker ideals that the prompt kiddie ignores. While anyone can be a prompt kiddie, generally they are teenagers who want the power of the hacker without the discipline or training involved. Obviously anyone who follows this route aspires to be a blackhat, but most refuse to even dignify them with this term; "blackhat" generally implies having skills of your own.
