Remote dev laments that coworkers' AI-polished DMs no longer feel human

Remote developer Kieran Klaassen observes that DMs—one of the last sources of human connection in remote work—are now polished by AI and tuned to his personality. It no longer feels human; it feels like being handled, "like I'm the human in the loop of an agentic workflow." He expects this to become the norm as everyone starts using personal agents, and he'll hate it.
