A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

I don't think I've seen "ninny" in my life. It might be because English isn't my first language, or perhaps I'm lacking some knowledge but I don't frequently come across new words these days. I'd argue a lot of people including most brain dead ones would have no idea what you're talking about.
It's quite an old-fashioned word - you might find it in some classic literature. Less so online. Short for 'nincompoop', I think - both words mean a foolish and incompetent person.
