  Why would it be a ripoff? Generative art sites are like this.
  Turtle toy is really neat, thanks for the tip.

    What’s with calling AI “clanker”? I’m seeing it more and more, and, honestly, the more I see it the stupider it sounds.

    It's basically a derogatory term for AI. I've seen it used the same way a slur would be used to berate a person.

    Got that from context; I’m just baffled, really. Seeing people call AI “clankers” is like watching a third grader call another “poopy head”. It’s just depressingly infantile.

    It's a reference from Star Wars if you really don't know. People say things they hear, I don't know what else to tell you.
