An LLM has no autonomy. They LITERALLY exist to do the bidding of humans, without the human behind them they do not exist.

This is not some way of denigrating or belittling them. They are not human, they are not conscious, they are not alive, they cannot be categorized as an "outgroup" because they are not a group of beings. There is no room for debate on this outside among people who understand how LLMs work.

The actual problem with "clanker" is the casual allusions to actual racism and use of classically racist idioms.
