I've been using it differently than the article suggests I guess. So far I've only called people who blatantly use LLM instead of their own words on debate forums "clankers."
I hate that we call social media debate platforms.
CEOs found a way to divide us with the internet. I hate what it became

I mean specific forums for debate and not the general social web, but you probably just wanted to vent and that's fair.

Bless you for clarifying, my brain hopped right to you meaning Twitter for some reason. You can tell how much faith I've got these days lol

The term "social media" is already toxic. When I started using the Internet, socialising and media were two separate things. Conflating the two implies that every time we say something, we are publishing an article and should care about how many views and likes we get, instead of making a genuine attempt at connection. And it suggests that every reply should be some kind of review of the post it replies to.
In the days of forums, people would just post what came into mind. They were more honest because there was no number next to your comment rating how good it was.

Well thinking about it, your assumption is probably the norm nowadays. I'm the weirdo still visiting places running vbulletin and shit lol.

By nature and definition, social media is any platform that without users there would be no content. Vbulletin forums et al actually fall into that scope.
And gods do I miss them. Used to have a website i'd go for every niche discussion, and if there were points in the forum it was usually for gimmicky flash games or something and not for clout

Well, all right. But I don't want anyone to think we're robosexual or anything, so if anyone asks, you're my debugger.

Every time I pull the string on the back of this doll it says something nice to me. Is this true love?

Inside me there are two tech nerds. One is optimistic towards new tech and has the clanka pass. The other is kicking the dominos robot calling it a clanker

Fracking toasters.
Toasters is, and always has been a better insult.
It needs to be plugged in, temperature set, then a button to turn bread into toast.
Basically calling a machine simple, single purposed, restrained, and relatively unconfigurable.

Hate to break it to you but that aint the back of the doll and it isn't a string you are pulling either.
But the affection is genuine.

I think a major criteria should be gamifying of content with likes, follows, etc. as the person above was getting at.

The forums are still very good platforms for automotive content and troubleshooting. I assume there are other fields where this is true. The etiquette there was always to lurk and learn before posting. Here, not so much.

That ship's already passed, women have been loving on hand-held robots for decades now. I would bet that some women love their buzzy little friend more than the man in their lives.

Elon Musk's Optimus robot has been coming to work in factories "by the end of the year" for over five years now.
It's just another unsubstantiated promise he reuses every year just like the long promised full autonomy of his self-driving cars.

And here I am wanting nothing more than to upload my mind.

There's still great places here and even on reddit to find information, the key is just to focus on finding places where people enjoy the subject of the forum XD
But yeah, lurk lurk lurk, unless you have something of value (or funny) to contribute.
