Those phrases are not anthropomorphizing the computers. Just various forms of analogies and broadening of word meanings.
An example of anthropomorphizing is the people who have literally come to believe they are in romantic relationships with an LLM.
What about saying "please" and "thank you" to the LLM?
If I had a dollar for every time I've said "thank you" to my computer after my code finally compiles, I'd be able to retire.
