Oh it was a joke about how LLMs being everywhere makes me understand why people find droids annoying and don't take them seriously; they know they're not really sentient they're just irritating

lol nice.

though if you don't mind me nerding out a bit, droids in star wars actually are considered to be on a spectrum of sentience, becoming more so as the go longer without a memory wipe. rd2d is an example of one such droid who more or less exercises free will due to avoiding any wipes over the course of the series.

there's a decent amount of secondary fiction in the franchise that concerns the ethics of memory wipes actually. mostly pre-disney but it was explored haha.

this is actually neat lore I always imagined the droids were just kinda wandering around doing comic relief stuff. how sentient is the donk droid then what do they think about??
