Ongoing thesis, large parts of humanity cannot interact with something this near-human without just identifying it as one.
This is rooted in my long-time fascination with human anthropomorphism. We are genetically primed for this, seek it and treasure it. The machines never had to be human, at all.

current theory: LLMs exist in a cognitive uncanny valley. we are incapable of seeing them as anything other than weird humans. they get ranked up/down in our esteem the way a human would be. that they are a totally different thing, with totally different problems, is impossible to integrate
and this seems like a legitimate cognitive problem. somehow the exact niche in the cognitive uncanny valley they fall into is just impossible for us to process. nothing else has ever existed that looks anything like this before! it's a person. it's an oracle of truth? maybe it's a book. hmmm
