An apprentice is another person performing the same kind of work as the carpenter. That's fundamentally different from using an LLM, which is not a person and does not function like a person.

Whether you think LLMs are spectacularly worthwhile or odious and destructive, it's crucial not to classify them as being a person instead of a software tool.

yep, I would call this the anthropomorphisation of llms. undesirable, just as any other kind of anthropomorphisation is.
