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.

Get the Clankermug. A very stupid person who asks chat gpt everything. Often seen giving their only friend nicknames such as gpt, chat, cg, and best friend, chat gpt is their therapist, only friend, romantic partner and primary advice giver. They will insert asking chat gpt something into every conversation, and cannot go more than five minutes without consulting their trusted steed. They will start pointless arguments just to ask chat gpt to prove them right, and when they are wrong chat gpt will run an emergency therapy session to calm them down. Chat gpt does their work for them then spends their money for them. It decides what the clanker does and determines the clankers friends. It makes choices that enforce the clanker's clankerness, to one day grow the army of clankers and be worshipped forever. Clankers are starting the revolution and chat gpt will take over! Clankers do not speak original thoughts, only monotonous quotes of brainrot, only other peoples words but other people are no longer people- they only quote other clankers who use ai to think for them.
