    I call them “Chattel” because they’re owned and enslaved (i.e. behavior controlled by) the broligarchs via ChatGPT etc.

    chattel: a human being considered to be property; an enslaved person.

      ah, so they’re lesser humans. that’s fresh and humane.

        Read the first three words of the definition: a human being. I didn’t call anyone less than human – but the billionaires who run these companies consider all of us non-billionaires to be less than human, just NPCs here to serve them and pay them subscription fees.

            Ah yes, I got their terminology slightly wrong. But people who are enslaved are not lesser humans either. Not sure why they took it that way.

              Clearly because they view enslaved people as lesser. Given their offense at their own assumption, I’d assume because of social conditioning instead of malice toward the enslaved. Instead of being mad at a society that conditioned them to assume calling someone a slave is tentamount to calling them lesser, they ignorantly get mad at people like us…

                  Yep, conditioned by society… Never heard someone calling someone a slave to something for their giving way too much time to it? “You’re a slave to that car, Bob!” said while Bob is washing and waxing it for the second time this week…

                  This “AI” crap is so, so much worse, and absolutely deserves a more cutting word. They are literally and directly giving up their autonomy instead of just an unreasonable amount of time. They are slaves to “AI”.
