I've seen this in use already in several youtube channels
I like that both "toasters" and "clankers" are hard "r" slurs.
The idea that we can create a "slur" for an inanimate object is the result of corporate propaganda.
Marketing teams would attempt to use propaganda to humanize this auto correct software before admitting it can't do what they said it could.
Technically Star Wars coined it as a slur way the fuck back in one of the prequels. Shit ain't even from 2025.

In the Manual it says you can whip your clankers as hard as you want. If they don't malfunction within 3 hours then it's all covered under warranty!
I miss the 70s flair. Can we have Slop-O-Matic 3000 at least?
Chiphead is a good one if klanker isn't enough
Tinnies
Too much like titties
Silis (pronounced "sillies")
Like silicon.
Doubt any one of them is going to stick.
I think we should have different ones for different brands... Tesla bots can be Jerry's since he's Musk is a Nazi.
Why does BJs still have those stupid robots riding around the store? It was cute the first month but now they just trigger my anxiety.
clankers are human made & is not human, so doesn't come with human rights and does not require basic respect.
I mean they don't even understand the concept of being offended or slurs.
