the phrase "[LLM] thinks X is happening" is good chunk of the problem

it didn't. it produced an output, and you hopefully invoked some human judgement before believing it was worth sharing, and you are hopefully expecting to be accountable if that judgement was incorrect (whatever the failure mode)

Fine. "The LLM produced a chain of reasoning consistent with a belief that X is happening."

I've found it fairly helpful to anthropomorphize systems to communicate things about their behavior, despite them obviously not being human ("The load balancer thought the West US region was chilling", or "that cluster was unhappy because of bad packet loss"). I don't really have many problems with people taking those statements that I think computers have emotions.

You must be fun at parties
