This anecdote has the makings of a “men will literally x instead of going to therapy” joke.

On a more serious note though, I really wish people would stop anthropomorphisizing these things, especially when they do it while dehumanizing people and devaluing humanity as a whole.

But that’s unlikely to happen. It’s the same type of people that thought the mind was a machine in the first industrial revolution, and then a CPU in the third…now they think it’s an LLM.

LLMs could have some better (if narrower) applications if we could stop being so stupid as to inject them into places where they are obviously counterproductive.
