    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

      no. you’ve heard of furries, right?

      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.
