I get where you're coming from with this, but by that same logic isn't it wrong for video game characters to refer to themselves as I? They have even less intelligence than LLMs do. I'm not one that pretends like AI has rights or any sort of sentience, but I also don't think it's a huge deal for us to personify them in the context of our own work.

Now, if somebody started actively pretending that their AI was real to the point where they actually started believing it is (eg. Lance Twiggs, according to reports) then I could definitely see a problem there, but I don't personally have anything against it referring to itself like that in casual banter and AI-based work.

But to each their own, I suppose!
