Like anthropomorphism is literally in the company name… i recall reading this book as a teenager.. it does seem apt in the world to come.

No it's not... "anthropos" just means "human" in ancient Greek. "Anthropic" means "relating to humans", as in human oriented AI or AI designed with humans in mind.

"Anthropomorphic" means "human shaped".
