White-collar workers are ditching their human coworkers for AI BFFs
Briefly

Generative AI applications, like ChatGPT, are becoming integral to workplace dynamics, as users increasingly regard them as colleagues. One user, Nicole Ramirez, named her AI assistant Deborah, relying on it for tasks ranging from simple email drafts to complex market research. This relationship mimics traditional coworker interactions, providing an avenue for feedback and support without the interpersonal conflicts often present in human relationships. Many workers favor chatbots for their reliability and lack of human flaws, finding deep appeal in their efficiency and non-judgmental nature, especially in task sharing.
As time went on, she asked Deborah to do more complex work, such as market research and analysis, and found herself typing "thank you" after the results came back.

For many, tapping AI chatbots in lieu of their human colleagues has deep appeal.
