That’s a rather stunning comparison: racism is a problem because it’s unfairly treating sentient beings but a pile of linear algebra is not even sentient, much less your peer. That’s part of why I used the term: “agent” isn’t current because agents have, well, agency and can be held accountable.

Positing an equivalence between a dismissive term for AI bots and a racial slur against black people is, like, super racist.
