We need a slur for people who blindly copy LLM outputs
(lemmy.world)
"slopper"
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

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
🤣 did you blindly follow it, promptpuppet?
damn I really like neuroshill but realistically bothead is a lot easier to say.

I think I've heard "Prompt fondler"
Too many syllables, I feel.
You gotta have a couple, of varying syllables, so you can string them together effectively when the need arises.

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.

hopefully he's not putting any proprietary information into whatever LLM he's using
Slop slingers.
Combining yours with the one by @vala@lemmy.world, we get "Slop gobbler"
Slop gobbler
I propose combining the two to make "Slopper."
Edit: Another comment below made the same suggestion first.

Why don't you ask chatgpt to come up with a slur?
ironically. a good idea
i did, and it suggested LLMmings, which makes me suspicious about the one who suggested that @NRay7882@lemmy.world

In school, plagiarists are called cheaters. This seems the same to me.
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.
NPC?
Promptsimp
GPTrash
Llmorons (le-morons or el-morons?)
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.
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.
Stupid is pretty accurate.
meat puppet (just dancing to those random numbers)
clipboard (call them by their favorite tool)
AI zomboid (pretty straightforwardly what people can become)
?

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

Piggies love their slop.
Why do we need a new one?
Calling them "fakers" seems to get them all huffy already. And if you really want to piss off an AI "prompt writer", point out to them that they aren't actual artists.
Dumbass?
Admittedly, I can do better. Might edit later if I feel inspired.

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
