Etymology: Of imitative origin. Perhaps an extension and modification of hip (interjection). Compare Dutch joepie (“yippee”).

    “You'll understand, though, if I don't jump up and down and yell "Yippee!"”

    “While they are not saying “yippee, look what AI can do” (in fact, some say they are trying to highlight risks), by publishing in scientific journals, they are risking lending credibility to the very idea of using AI in problematic, physiognomic ways.”
