"hard not to anthropomorphize accidentally' is a you problem.

I'm unhappy every time I look in my inbox, as it's a constant reminder there are people (increasingly, scripts and LLMs!) prepared to straight-up lie to me if it means they can take my money or get me to click on a link that's a trap.

Are you anthropomorphizing that, too? You're not gonna last a day.

I didn't mean typical chatbot output, these are luckily still fairly recognizable due to stylistic preferences learned during fine-tuning. I mean actual base model output. Take a SOTA base model and give it the first two paragraphs of some longer text you wrote, and I would bet on many people being unable to distinguish your continuation from the model's autoregressive guesses.
