I think we're in agreement here and just coming at it from different directions.

I don't want to ban LLMs, I don't blame them for the actions of crazy people, I don't even want to regulate them in any major way related to this particular issue.

Even on the subject if they are or not conscious my position as changed from "no" to "I don't care either way" awhile ago.

The problem is specifically with anthropomorphizing them. To push the idea that they are "as if human", which is what this consciousness discussion will inevitably lead to.

An imaginary perfect computer simulation of my dead father is not my father, it is a computer simulation. It will never be anything but.
