I implied that on purpose. I'm generally hesitant to anthropomorphize LLMs, but in this case, I disagree with you that they don't have intention. They were developed to output likely tokens, and tuned such that their big tech developers approve the output. That is their intention. Their one and only intention.
That being said, I completely agree on the agency point. They don't make decisions, and certainly don't "think" like people.
Still, I believe the benefits of the analogy outweigh the potential loss of nuance here.
