I think you should anthropomorphize LLMs. They are being trained on millions of books, including novels and other human-centered formats, which usually exemplify very well how humans think and act in various situations. There are probably also many theatre scripts, transcriptions of series and movies in the training data, which further exemplify how humans do. If we’ve been anthropomorphizing those characters in books and plays, (and authors sure must’ve put their best effort that we do so), then why wouldn’t we do it to LLMs which basically play by those scripts?
