Treating it anthropomorphically is a sign of respect, similar to how a sailor would bond with their ship. It's not necessarily BAD or dumber or wrong to talk with it like its human - that's clearly what every single interface is telling you to do by representing it like a texting partner. You can't interact with a machine that speaks english non-anthropomorphically.

I don't disagree! But my point was that it will inherently present challenges to interacting with it objectively and fully rationally, IMO.
