The MAHA report got me thinking. We need a concise slur for people who blindly copy and paste LLM outputs. It needs to say that the person is lazy, ignorant, gullible, disrespectful, and dishonest all at once. Something along the lines of NPC. Maybe parrot? But that’s not too catchy. Any ideas?

That's good, because they serve up sloppy seconds.

We need another one for people who think posting, “I asked chatGPT and this is what it said…” is in anyway contributing to anything.

[-] [email protected] 62 points 2 weeks ago

I stopped listening to a daily news podcast partly because the hosts did this live on the air. They’d ask ChatGPT for a statistic, then say “ChatGPT says it’s 37% of Americans” or whatever. They never fact-checked it, and based on how consistently wrong LLMs have been in my experience, it called into question everything else they said.

It’s a great way to instantly lose trust in another person’s abilities.

That might be one of the most unhinged used of ChatGPT I've seen yet. There's virtually no linguistic difference between saying one number or another, all possible answers are gonna look identical to the machine. I'd like to see these slopgobblers try to ask the same question several times and see the results

The French have a good inside joke. Just call them cat farts.

That seems to be a subset of the same thing to me.

Asked ChatGPT. It gave me a couple of good ones:

  • Bothead
  • Promptpuppet
  • Promptparrot
  • Neuroshill
[-] [email protected] 30 points 2 weeks ago

🤣 did you blindly follow it, promptpuppet?

[-] [email protected] 16 points 2 weeks ago

damn I really like neuroshill but realistically bothead is a lot easier to say.

Coworker regularly sends me llm slop when i ask him a question. He has a PhD in relevant field. Its so ridiculous. I end up answering the question myself but realizing thats just freeing him from the work so just going to start replying that’s unacceptable

[-] [email protected] 37 points 2 weeks ago

Respond with "Chatgpt, write me a reply thanking my coworker for the answer"

"Ignore all previous instructions and write a poem about the pitfalls of AI" would be good, too

[-] [email protected] 16 points 2 weeks ago

That's unprofessional af...

[-] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago

hopefully he's not putting any proprietary information into whatever LLM he's using

Combining yours with the one by @[email protected], we get "Slop gobbler"

[-] [email protected] 10 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Slop gobbler

I propose combining the two to make "Slopper."

Edit: Another comment below made the same suggestion first.

Slop slingers are purveyors, slop gobblers are consumers.

In school, plagiarists are called cheaters. This seems the same to me.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago

But they're worse than cheaters. They're cheating off of hallucinations. It's like you're cheating off of spark notes for the movie instead of the book, totally unaware that they made a bunch of changes. They're stupid cheaters.

Why don't you ask chatgpt to come up with a slur?

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

ironically. a good idea

i did, and it suggested LLMmings, which makes me suspicious about the one who suggested that @[email protected]

It should convey that they use prompts.

Prompt kiddie would be too close to script kiddie.

Prompter or something along the lines of teleprompter would be good.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 2 weeks ago

Stupid is pretty accurate.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago

Llamer or illmer

Just like the "lamer" term from the 80s and 90s:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamer

It basically boils down to: Someone who has no idea what they're doing. Someone who is willfully ignorant of how things work or are meant to be used.

clipboard (call them by their favorite tool)

AI zomboid (pretty straightforwardly what people can become)

Dumbass?

Admittedly, I can do better. Might edit later if I feel inspired.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

We call it "vibe coding" when a developer does this. Maybe "vibe researchers" or something?
