I agree with you in general, I think the problem is that people who do understand Gen AI (and who understand what it is and isn't capable of, and why), get rationally angry when it's humanized by using words like these to describe what it's doing.

The reason they get angry is because this makes people who do believe in the "intelligence/sapience" of AI more secure in their belief set and harder to talk to in a meaningful way. It enables them to keep up the fantasy. Which of course helps the corps pushing it.

Yup. The way the article titled itself isn't helping.
