Calling it reflection is, for me, further anthropomorphizing. However I am in violent agreement that a common feature of llm debate is centered around anthropomorphism leading to claims of "thinking longer" or "reflecting" when none of those things are happening.

The state of the art seems very focused on promoting that language that might encode reason is as good as actual reason, rather than asking what a reasoning model might look like.

I didn’t name it, to me I think it’s more about reflecting the output back on itself which doesn’t necessarily means anthropomorphism.
