A growing number of startups are anthropomorphizing AI to build trust fast — and soften its threat to human jobs.

The language is deliberately designed to appeal to overwhelmed hiring managers.

So please stop talking about fake workers. Just show us the tools that help great managers run complex businesses. That’s all anyone is really asking for..
