![My male peers might be offput by me calling what it makes of us a ‘nanny.’ But the point of a nanny is the child, who gets a lion’s share of the credit. Misbehavior is blamed on the nanny, or the parents, never the little boy. And work with AI seems to be prioritizing what a special little boy[1] Claude is: look at him try! Sometimes he makes things up, but how impressive! We will weigh the correct things disproportionately to the things little Claude gets wrong! No, we have to let this little guy keep trying, he might change the world! No, no, that vase is not valuable. Someone else can spend the time cleaning it up.
