Probably not the only one, but it's pretty much the least interesting thing to find jarring about the whole experiment.

People anthropomorphize. Nobody really finds it "jarring" in most contexts.

Hahaha yeah. let's not focus on something so minor as the pronouns when it should be literally everything else that is wild about the experiment

Yes, but this is not most contexts. If you're running an "experiment" you should probably not be anthropomorphizing the machine that's being experimented with.
