Yeah the subtext people mean when they say not to "anthropomorphize" AI is "humans are the gold standard of intelligence, all of its limitations are in its failures to do things humans do easily or automatically, by anthropomorphizing it you are ignoring the AI's limitations".
There is this built in assumption that humans have a natural supremacy in the realm of "intuitive" information processing that is unquantifiable. As AI improves this somewhat supernatural view will dissipate.
In fact, in the future when people talk about not "anthropomorphizing" AI, it will be in the opposite sense, i.e. we will be warned not to assume that an AI has human flaws, because in reality it is much smarter than that.
