i don't personally see messages with an LLM as being different from, say, terminal commands. it's a machine interface. it sounds like you're anthropomorphizing the chat bot, if you're talking to it like you would a human then i would be more worried about the implications that has for you as a person.

Focusing on how you anthropomorphize the LLM isn't really interacting with the point since it was one example.

Might someone's google search history be embarrassing even though they don't treat google like a human?

What does this comment add to the conversation? It feels like an personal attack with no real rebuttal. People with anthropomorphise them all talk to them, the human-like interface is the entire selling point.
Do you think there is nothing private about your terminal commands? Would you be 100% ok with bash sending all of your command lines to a corporation with a database?
