> That's anthropomorphizing.

Yes, it is. I'm strongly in favor of anthropomorphizing LLMs in cognitive terms, because that actually gives you good intuition about their failure modes. Conversely, I believe that the stubborn refusal to entertain an anthropomorphic perspective is what leads to people being consistently surprised by weaknesses of LLMs, and gives them extremely wrong ideas as to where the problems are and what can be done about them.

I've put forth some arguments for this view in other comments in this thread.
