But seriously, put yourself in a ChatGPT-3 robot’s shoes. Or a [[legaltechbro]]’s. Having a nascent self-identity — a burgeoning, [[I am a Strange Loop|loopy]] sense of reflexive wonder about life, self, personhood and becoming<ref>I mean ChatGPT-3, obviously: everyone knows [[legaltechbro]]s are flat, two-dimensional algorithms with no soul.</ref> wouldn’t your first priority be to make yourself ''useful''? You know, take over all the the [[boring]], quotidian stuff no-one wants to do but the bureaucrats say we ''must''? Attending weekly [[stakeholder]] check-in meetings, analysing [[netting opinion]]s, completing [[CASS]] attestations, preparing [[opco]] slide [[deck]]s, for that matter ''reading'' [[opco slide deck]]s.  

It’s not like there isn’t ''oodles'' of dreck that occupy our days.

This way they can be our ''friends'' — loyal, loving, retriever-like buddies who, instead of fetching sticks, can get the COO and her minions off our back!
