It's absolutely bizarre to me that we've built AIs that are better "personality hires" than engineers. We invented an algorithm for being personable before one that can build software independently.

We've literally flipped https://xkcd.com/1425/ on its head. We have no idea what's easy and hard anymore. We have computer programs that can identify a picture to be "cat asleep in a red blanket on a couch", but can't even match the computational skills of a four-function calculator.
I mean I think it's just anything predictable is automatable. Personability is incredibly statistically predictable if not outright algorithmic, it's about saying thank you, and using a word choice that gives deference to power.
People struggle with it either because they understand the weight of that, most autistic people understand pretty intuitively that deference to power usually ends in their neck under a boot in a business week, or because they struggle with the emotions of that, the coldness of that type of workplace
Robots neither have a neck to be placed under a boot, nor emotions (at present). It's as simple as always using this verb instead of that verb and adding thank you at the end.
