I think it’s because it’s the idea if you’re comfortable being rude to chatbots and you’re used to typing rude things to chatbots, it makes it much easier for it to accidentally slip out during real conversations too. Something like that, not really as much as it being about anthropomorphizing anything.

Makes sense.
For what it’s worth, I’m not suggesting anyone use rude language or anything, just be direct.

That’s true, but I think the idea is if you’re comfortable typing it, it’s easier for it to accidentally slip out during professional chat whereas normally you’d be more reserved and careful with what you say.
