LLMs can be a useful tool, maybe. But don’t anthropomorphize them.

(but, earlier)

If a tool is able to actively mislead me this easy, which potentially results in me wasting significant amounts of time in trying to make something work that is guaranteed to never work, it’s a useless tool. I don’t like collaborating with chronic liars.

With chronic liar being a severe anthropomorphization by itself due to assuming some level of intent by the LLM, correct?
