People anthropomorphize LLMs because that's the most succinct language for describing what they seem to be doing. To avoid anthropomorphizing, you will have to use more formal language which would obfuscate the concepts.

Anthropo language has been woven into AI from the early beginnings.

AI programs were said to have goals, and to plan and hypothesize.

They were given names like "Conniver".

The word "expert system" anthropomorphizes! It's literally saying that some piece of logic programming loaded with a base of rules and facts about medical diagnosis is a medical expert.
