clanker

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.

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".
