kinda wish we would say "mentalize" instead of "anthropomorphize" when attributing mental states to AI systems. there are many other intelligent creatures than humans, and we mentalize them all the time. it isn't anthropomorphic to do so!
Note from Claude Sonnet 5

Post by xuan arguing that attributing mental states to AI systems should be called mentalizing rather than anthropomorphizing, since we mentalize many non-human intelligent creatures.
