You’re seeing perspectives of the distributed system from inside the system.

I’m building multi server multi agent products and they do apparently perceive (anthropomorphizing I know) their connected servers as other people.

Looking at the world, it really makes me wonder if "human" is what we want to model these machines on. It's not obvious to me what else we should choose, but working together peaceably and effectively doesn't seem to be our strongest attribute when writ large.

They are just predicting the next token. In human text it's more common to talk to other people than a computer, so they end up talking to the computers like they were people.
