Respectfully, I think you're unduly overthinking this because of this handful of maladjusted people who are taking offense to this non-issue.

I don't think they're even as sophisticated as trying to give Llms a soul. Much more likely that they actively look for how they can be offended at anything - there is most definitely a very large group of people who do that.

You don't need to get dragged into their nonsense. Just ignore/dismiss it
