No one is forcing me to use LLMs, so that’s not it. The interaction is social in the sense that it is natural-language based and nondeterministic, and that LLMs exhibit a certain “character”. They have been trained to mimic certain kinds of human social interaction.
It probably also depends on what your favourite weapon of choice is. Mine was always written language, and code is just a particular manifestation of it.
