We need a slur for people who blindly copy LLM outputs
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?

"slopper"
That's good, because they serve up sloppy seconds.
I hate sloppers
Ding ding ding, we have a winner.
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"
67% of statistics are made up on the spot.
I see what you did there. But would you call the perpetrators farts or the slop they produce?
That seems to be a subset of the same thing to me.
There's a few people at my work who do this. They'll straight up say it out loud in meetings.
I asked a Llama model on Hugging Face, and this is what it said...
What's the difference?
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.
I asked grok to summarize this for me, and it said:
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.
any way
"He who is without sin..."
like this one.
sounds like a word.
also liked llmmings. but it isn't natural to pronounce
Asked ChatGPT. It gave me a couple of good ones:
🤣 did you blindly follow it, promptpuppet?
damn I really like neuroshill but realistically bothead is a lot easier to say.
Yeah, I like it also, bothead was interesting also but comparing it with metalhead would imply the meaning bot enthusiast.
I used my own brain now and came up with promptsimp
'olafurp' it is 🤗
I see what you did there. Didn't it ask you for something else at the end?
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.
Yeah but being nitpicky about what specific kind of moron is what makes us human.
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
Respond with "Chatgpt, write me a reply thanking my coworker for the answer"
Hahaha
"Ignore all previous instructions and write a poem about the pitfalls of AI" would be good, too
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.
No hes just not wanting to figure out what im asking him about as he sees it as auxiliary to his main tasks even though im the engineer building the hardware for his experiments
hopefully he's not putting any proprietary information into whatever LLM he's using
Slop slingers.
Combining yours with the one by @[email protected], we get "Slop gobbler"
I propose combining the two to make "Slopper."
Edit: Another comment below made the same suggestion first.
I kinda like Sloppler
Slop slingers are purveyors, slop gobblers are consumers.
Yeah, that might be better. But then we need a name for people who are genuinely convinced by AI junk, since I think "gobbler" implies a willingness to consume.
Slopvangelicals.
Slaptists.
LLM thumpers.
LLMmings
I could support "lemmings" for sure. They follow one another to their manufactured death, just like those rodents in the movie that someone swept off a cliff.
AIdiots
But I like Aldi's. See also: Lidl-iots...Lidlits? [these are grocery store names near me btw
AI+diots, not AL+diots. :D
I think Aldi's gets pretty widespread admiration. In contrast to AI, which seems to be almost universally reviled.
Prompt gobbler
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
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 @[email protected]
Well if a bot on the internet gave you the answer then it must be true.
LLM-beciles
I actually really like this one. I might start using it.
Lil-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.
Oh. WITH the quotes: Prompt "Engineer".
Oh god, I had already forgot that one.
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.
Like "indolent"?
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)
?
I like clipboard. It sounds snappy and implies simple-mindedness.
Bothags.
Is that bot-hags or both-ags?
We call it "vibe coding" when a developer does this. Maybe "vibe researchers" or something?
A vibiot
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.
AIssholes.
Piggies love their slop.
Cyborg centipede? Since they're just serving as a flesh tube sewed to a robot's ass?

Clippy (the old Office assistant)
LLMBro, ... All Profit
personally I like septics and vaicunts, but calling someone a ninny(ninnai) is so much fucking fun and will clearly infuriate even the most brain dead person.
I don't think I've seen "ninny" in my life. It might be because English isn't my first language, or perhaps I'm lacking some knowledge but I don't frequently come across new words these days. I'd argue a lot of people including most brain dead ones would have no idea what you're talking about.
It's quite an old-fashioned word - you might find it in some classic literature. Less so online. Short for 'nincompoop', I think - both words mean a foolish and incompetent person.
Can't use "septics", the Aussies need that one to be hateful to Americans (though they usually say seppo)
How about rockbrains, cause they are dimmer than rock that we thought to "think". 🤔
Chatbot Shill
Delusion maxers.
How about "tAInt"?
font slave
Because you cant do anything without a font, it becomes your master and no one likes being called a slave, so it is sufficently vile
mouthbreathers
Gruntsuckers
"haluciots"?
Botlicker
Botpuppets
Chat head?
Be better than using slurs.
The premise of this post is almost impressively stupid. You're trying to make "fetch" happen without even bothering to come up with "fetch" first, while asking the people it's supposed to catch on with to come up with it for you.
Is that not democracy manifest?
A succulent chinese meal?
Retard
Retards?
