i don’t love that clanker has been gaining traction because i have friends (plural) who identify as robots (or similar) and i feel like clanker as a perjorative is much more likely to affect them than a generative AI
as a furry, i identify with anthropomorphic animals, not as one. the term you’re looking for is therian, or perhaps otherkin. identifying with mechanical things or robots is different as identifying as one.
Wait…waaaait. There are people that actually take offense at the word clanker?

This is satire, right? Right??
no. you’ve heard of furries, right? it’s not really that much of a leap from there to think a person would identify with mechanical things or robots
and like i said, clanker is not going to affect an LLM, but it could affect these sorts of people
me being nitpicky, feel free to ignore
