Is this really a thing a lot of people do? I talk to a lot of people about their AI use and I don't think anyone has ever mentioned treating AI agents as coworkers.

@binarybits I treat AI as a co-author.

@binarybits Claude-as-coworker-in-Slack has quickly become the primary way most Anthropic employees get work done with Claude.

@binarybits I think this is more in terms of management thinking tasks can be farmed out to agents as if they are junior employees.

@binarybits Anthropic frames Claude Tag in these kinds of terms. If the capability and behavior meet the threshold, why not?

@binarybits I'd like to see AI agents employed in the dairy industry as cow-workers.
