Kudos to the AP here. One of the reasons I can't take much of the AI discourse (especially LLM boosters) seriously is because of how much of it is couched in anthropomorphic terms. For any questions related to AI and philosophy of mind, this is essentially begging the question and, given that humans have well-known biases in this regard, actively encouraging irrational thought. https://futurism.com/artificial-intelligence/ai-bros-meltdown-feelings
