Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
6. Defend your opinion
This is a bit of a mix of rules 4 and 5 to help foster higher quality posts. You are expected to defend your unpopular opinion in the post body. We don't expect a whole manifesto (please, no manifestos), but you should at least provide some details as to why you hold the position you do.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

MODERATORS
If you don't understand the issue I absolutely welcome you to spend some time researching it. If you can't see how thin surface modifications of existing racial slurs to use against AI are also something that could bother people with a lot of experience hearing the original terms it's something you should definitely read in to.
It's wonderful for you if you don't have to have first hand experience on the issue, but don't use your own world view to determine what can harm other people.
You're more than welcome to come explain what a shit post it is to any of the older women in my family.
AI isn't alive. It's fancy if/else.
I build LLM models for a living, if you need my source
tell your granny a shitpost is when her clanker boyfriend says he loves her very much
AI's may be tinskin, but you obviously have thin skin if you are this offended
You didn't have a 10 year old girl crying about to you earlier. You sound like a terrible person.
what in gods holy name are you blathering about?
I said JonsJava is welcome to explain how this is a shitpost to my grandmother. Because she's old and black and extremely bothered by these terms.
A brilliant human responded to tell my granny something about her clanker boyfriend. That would be my grandfather, who is also black.
The entire point of the topic is that repurposing existing slurs against humans with slight variations is fucked up.
Do I still need to keep connecting dots, or can you take it from there for yourself?
i mean…oof.
you seem to be going through something way beyond my pay grade.
be well internet stranger, i hope you find what you need out there.
What the fuck is wrong with you?
Please go seek help, you've degraded to the point of suggesting elders physically abuse younger generations for anyone that so much as calls Artificial Intelligence a Clanker.
Get. Fucking. Real.
And go get yourself and your family some serious mental help if you're really misconstruing yourself as an offended electronic datacenter because people used bad words in your life.
Get over it.
