"Don't anthropomorphize token predictors" is a reasonable take assuming you have demonstrated that humans are not in fact just SOTA token predictors. But AFAIK that hasn't been demonstrated.
Until we have a much more sophisticated understanding of human intelligence and consciousness, any claim of "these aren't like us" is either premature or spurious.
Every time this discussion comes up, I'm reminded of this tongue-in-cheek paper.

I expected to find the link to https://arxiv.org/abs/1703.10987 (which is much better imo)
