People are also just big complex machines - chemical pathways responding to conditions, stimuli and “memories” encoded from past experience or in their DNA - plus a host of microbes tagging along influencing them rather dramatically.
LLMs are simpler, but they use the trick of imitating people - responding in writing like people respond in writing, so the anthropomorphizations are inevitable.
Any apparent motivation attributed to AI is actually the motivation of the people invoking it
