I would love to see the term 'low-skilled' used more often within the context of LLM's and the manner in which people use them.

"lamer" is old (sigh) forum/IM/IRC slang for a low-skilled/obnoxious individual, "someone who's lame"

It's even older than that, it was used in the 1980s pirate/demo coder scene, which means it probably originated in skater culture maybe.
