Given these machines are the product of massive intentional and increasingly successful efforts to humanize computers, increased anthropomorphization is appropriate.

The behavior/attribute overlap isn't a coincidence or misunderstanding, it is by design.

In case of "ask", that describes our behavior not the machines.

But if a machine is able to recall and use some fact fluently then it makes sense to say it "knows" it. We routinely use words like "know", without any confusion, when talking about simpler lifeforms that are far less human-like than these models.

None of the above means the machine feels pain, is conscious, has a continuous identity, etc. Yet.
