@dangoodin I think it's because nothing else we've anthropomorphized has been able to respond back in a human-like manner. So despite the characterization, we can never perceive it as actually human or conscious. With LLMs, we don't just treat them as if they're human, they act as if they're human right back even though they're not. It's the "even though they're not" part that is the problem, because it breaks the disbelief. It's no longer just anthropomorphizing, it's actually assigning "human-ness" to it because it reacts in such a human-like way.
