Cherish the procrastination, because the chatbot can't do that

The article discusses the increasing tendency of humans to resemble algorithms due to self-optimization, while AI models remain fundamentally non-human. Anthropic's decision to protect its chatbot Claude from psychological abuse reflects a broader trend of treating algorithms as human-like. The author argues that this shift in perception is problematic, as it mirrors the quantification of human workers and the rise of burnout among employees. The piece emphasizes the importance of valuing non-productive activities, like leisure, which AI cannot replicate. It calls for a re-evaluation of human qualities in the face of growing automation and the need to respect the human experience.
