I don’t quite understand the point you’re trying to make. It seems you’re arguing for basic empathy and compassion, and that we shouldn’t just be rude to robots because „haha, robots”, regardless of what the robot is (or if it’s even a robot). Am I getting the gist correct?

If so, I don’t believe not being an ass has anything to do with anthropomorphising the LLM? I can still be very conscious that it’s nowhere near sentience, while also not being an asshole while using the chat interface? As mentioned, this was a thing before LLMs as well, I don’t get why being LLMs into the discussion at all, and try to almost make them more than they are, when your point is about humans treating other things inadequately, and our society incentivizing this behavior.

I do also genuinely believe the „frontier models” should burn because I have fundamental problems with the technology itself, but that’s I guess a separate discussion, orthogonal to the point you’re trying to make.
