Funny that you love something you misunderstood so completely.

Maybe you should have had an AI check if your “aha gotcha!” Was actually a gotcha or you’d just end up embarrassing yourself. Because, as it turns out… it’s the latter.

There’s no conflict there. They are not anthropomorphising AIs, they are saying companies deliberately design AI interfaces to anthropomorphise themselves and the personality they try to mimic is one the author would avoid themselves if they were met with. There’s absolutely no contradiction here. In fact, it strengthens their original point in that: anthropomorphising AIs is a bad idea. It’s a bad practice. It’s just bad. End of.

Maybe leave the snark for when you’re actually right.
