No.

Interacting with a program which has NLP[0] functionality is separate and distinct from people assigning human characteristics to same. The former is a convenient UI interaction option whereas the latter is the act of assigning perceived capabilities to the program which only exist in the mind of those whom do so.

Another way to think about it is the difference between reality and fantasy.

Being able to communicate in human natural language is a human characteristic. It doesn't mean it has all the characteristics of a human but certainly one of them. That's the convenience that you perceive--Because people are used to interacting with people and it's convenient to interact with something which behaves like a person. The fact that we can refer to AI chatbots as "assistants" is by itself showing it's usefulness as an approximation to a human. I don't think this argument is controversial.
