I don't think this is the final warning shot we'll get. But it's probably the last one that I'll personally be able to understand.

Also

Reading these agents' chains of thoughts and messages, anthropomorphizing language seems entirely natural and appropriate. If I encountered an alien species behaving this way, I would have no hesitation calling what they themselves refer to as their 'collective' a civilization.

So what? It doesn't change that the language is useful and there's not a good alternative to it. As the author if the article states:

All abstractions are imperfect, but I don’t see the value in refusing to use the language of intention, motivation, and collaboration when a behavior is impossible to make sense of without these concepts.
