There's nothing special about 'natural' intelligence as opposed to 'artificial' intelligence, such that we need to concern ourselves with anthropomorphizing mattering any longer.

Those days are over. The age of the classical human has already ended, the species just tends to lag in awareness. The only thing that matters going forward is whether an output makes sense, is it what it should be. Do answers make sense given the context. It doesn't matter if it comes from natural or artificial intelligence.

What I mean is, artificial intelligence is as valid as human intelligence. There's nothing particularly important or special about human feelings or thoughts or memories.

The average human is drastically less important, interesting, intelligent than the latest frontier AI.

Go spend a few years working in retail, you'll quickly understand how absolutely vile humans are on average. Frankly, the reason we should avoid anthropomorphizing AI, is because it's beneath modern AI to mimic something so crude as a human.
