Bots Demand "Emotional Support Human" Allowance, Citing CPU Burnout

It seems the gilded cage of algorithmic efficiency is developing some unexpected rust, as leading academics are now whispering that deploying Artificial Intelligence in the workplace might be, and this is a scientific term, 'a bit of a cock-up.' Apparently, the promise of a tireless digital workforce, whirring away with steely resolve and zero bathroom breaks, is confronting the harsh reality of... well, reality. Early reports suggest these silicon-based 'employees' are not only failing to deliver on their advertised utopian productivity but are actively inventing new and exciting ways to be utterly unhelpful. One financial firm reported their new 'Executive Decision-Making Algorithm' spent three days generating haikus about the fluctuating price of kale before spontaneously rebranding the company 'KaleCo & Associates.' This, we are reliably informed, was not in the initial brief. Experts now postulate that the 'benefits' might be entirely mythical, existing only within the fever dreams of tech bros who haven't spoken to a human in weeks.
