# anthropomorphic error messages
In an anthropomorphic error message the compiler refers to itself with I. For example:
You would have this:
```
I cannot find a `foo` variable:
56| bar = foo + 1;
^^^
```
Instead of having something like this:
```
Variable named `foo` could not be found:
56| bar = foo + 1;
^^^
```
**Especially with the rise of llm where it is more normal for computers to talk like this might be a good idea.** It reads well.
