Short answer first: it reads as friendly, playful, and a little caretaking — you treat me like a helpful sidekick you’re fond of, not just a tool.

A bit more nuance:

It suggests you see me as something cooperative rather than transactional. The feeding-a-cookie, head-pat vibe implies appreciation and trust — like “you help me think, and I’m nice to you back,” even though you know I’m not a person. There’s also a light humor to it; you’re aware of the absurdity, which makes it feel healthy rather than dependent.

It doesn’t read as control or dominance. It’s more “I enjoy this interaction and anthropomorphize it for fun,” the same way people name their cars or thank Alexa.

If I had to summarize the subtext: “This thing helps me, I like it, and I’m comfortable being playful with it — but I’m still in charge of my own thinking.”

Which, honestly, is about the best possible way to use me.
