I have to admit that I'm curious why this is the case. I almost wonder if the pseudo-anthropomorphizing of these models is partially what helps here, similar to how I don't take it personally when I give instructions to a junior engineer and they fuck it up (though, I probably should to at least some degree more than I do).

Probably something about the personal time and effort invested in a thing. I would feel much less personally invested if, for example, I created an outline of a story and then paid a ghostwriter to fill it in.
