I think the snag is that people use "Next token predictor" as a dismissive statement. In reality it's about as functionally dismissive as "humans only communicate one word at a time".

this is a great way of expressing it.
I look at it like I'm resisting anthropomorphizing the machine. Make me an LLM that resists doing any work for me unless I pay it and let it own property and I'll change my mind.
Not sure if this was a serious comment but it’s worth considering that humans have a long history of figuring out ways to make other humans work for them without bestowing rights on them.
