Love the totally conflicting statements in that post.
- When we think of AI agents, we shouldn’t anthropomorphize
- ...my visceral dislike of interacting with an LLM that’s not just making a pretense of being human, but also posing as the kind of human I walk away from.
So he's anthropomorphised the LLM as being like a human himself (rather than forcing it to act as a machine via its prompt for example).
Not even a gotcha since they are not “getting” anyone at anything. They completely misunderstood the author’s point and got heated up about something they made up in their own head. That’s about as far from a gotcha as you can get.

Maybe he should have had an AI check his post :D

Can we please stop this sort of smirking provocation?
