To be fair to pedagogy, it's also being defeated by eons of human brain wiring that says: "People in stories are somewhat real, and the author is always real."

We are disarmed by how well these things mimic all of typical indicators of thought, and it takes work— work our brains can't really sustain—to not fall into assumptions that there's another humanoid bearing some of the responsibility for catching problems.
