   Doesn't tell us anything. This would be good if that meant they've developed some kind of "taste" for human output, I highly doubt it and for sure it will not reduce over-reliance on "AI" for school homework. I will not be surprised when this will be considered a "lost generation" from many points of view.

      It's just the new term for "NPC" (like "My teacher is such an NPC"), meaning someone/something is bland or generic (like a non-playable character in a video game).

         The term NPC referred to people without critical thought, as if they were running down a pre-programmed dialog tree.

            Yep that too (source: has friends who use the term in many different contexts)
