Anthropomorphization is not inherently wrong, and in some instances, it actually lets you reason better about about complex behavior than whatever convoluted (and often wrong, especially in the case of giant neural networks) mechanistic description one might conjure.

Here the analogy isn't without reason.

We shouldn't anthropomorphize LLMs. They hate it when you do that.

Wason Selection task performance improvements based on social framing suggest that it's easier for us to think about problems when some anthropomorphization is going on. https://www.cep.ucsb.edu/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Cogadapt...

Feels like we're having a computer world Jane Goodall moment.

Is it "Anthropicmorphization" when Claud treats human beings like LLMs?

Interesting question. Is there an actual term for that? It’s like inverse anthropomorphization, but not quite.

Dehumanization, assuming this wasn't sarcasm
