"GOFAI" is a buzzword used by people who don't know how to make auditable systems, so they declare auditable systems "old fashioned" so-as to excuse themselves from learning them.

I don't know how you see that sentiment in what I wrote.

GOFAI is a slur against people who build systems responsibly, it doesn't matter the context for a slur just don't do it.

I haven't encountered it used with negative connotations, even by deep learning people. Neither does cursory Googling show it having that valence.
