Anthropo-creepism
(noun, a variation on the clinical-sounding anthropomorphism)
The sneaky practice of projecting human-like qualities (feelings, intentions, “personality”) onto algorithms or tech, leading to confusion, weirdness, and lost boundaries. It’s not ideal to treat code like it cares—remember, tools are tools, not buddies! Keep it in check to stay sovereign. 🎻🤖

You think me an old fogeyand an old tory, his thoughtful voice said. I saw three generations since O’Connel’s time. I remember the famine. Do you know that the orange lodges agitated for repeal of the union twenty years before O’Connel did or before the prelates of your communion denounced him as a demagogue?
