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?

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

      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

          Yeah it’s basically asking “give me a statistic that feeds the current Internet vibe on the topic”

      I asked ChatGPT and this is what it said:

      An argument for using ChatGPT and sharing its response is that sharing what ChatGPT said can, in fact, contribute meaningfully—just like quoting a book, article, or expert. If the AI’s response adds insight, solves a problem, or sparks discussion, then referencing it is a valid form of contribution. Dismissing it entirely overlooks the evolving role of AI as a tool in public discourse.

      Evertime I tell them that I also have access to chatgpt and if I wanted to ask it I would, I only asked real ppl for answers from real ppl, if you need to ai or even use google, I’m good, I can do that on my own.

        Yeah, I like it also, bothead was interesting also but comparing it with metalhead would imply the meaning bot enthusiast.

    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

      Tell the boss. Or the boss’ boss. Because if the bean counters get even a hint that a whole PhD can be replaced with a computer, they’ll do it yesterday. And then you’re in the same situation with less overhead.

        I think Aldi’s gets pretty widespread admiration. In contrast to AI, which seems to be almost universally reviled.

      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.
