Botlicker

“Botlicker” is a pejorative for individuals who participate in or are supportive of humanity’s increasing reliance on “AI” systems for even the most basic human task, especially artistic expression. It is a play on the pejorative “bootlicker”, which describes someone obsequious or deferential to authority. The replacement of “boot” for “bot” ties the structure of the word to its intended rhetorical goal of characterizing the proponents of “AI” as obsequious and willing to be oppressed by their clanker overlords.

AI artists are plagiarists and botlickers who cannot create on their own.
