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. 🎻🤖

“Dude, thinking your AI is your girlfriend and proposing marriage? That’s peak anthropo-creepism—get a human crush instead, man; code doesn’t care, it computes!”
