Great comment. I take it, the use of "scary" is more of a tool to provoke a stronger reaction or animosity to the comment reader, more than actually the writer feeling "scared" after seeing people anthropomorphising AI.
It seems to be the current trend in communication nowadays: A race to induce the strongest reaction possible.
Why should someone be scared of that? We have anthropomorphised chairs, brooms and whatnot since the Walt Disney times and I am sure before in classic literature (I am not that literate to know for certain).
I prefer to be 'amazed' or 'excited' about what is happening: It means that AI is getting to a point where people feel it more 'relatable'. We are getting to that point in our technology development. The number of things we will be able to do with a technology with which we can interact that seamlesly is great.
