I think we'd get better results if we thought of it as a conscious agent. If we recognized that it was going to mirror back or unconscious biases and try to complete the task as we define it, instead of how we think it should behave. Then we'd at least get our own ignorance out of the way when writing prompts.

Being able to recognize that 'make this code better' provides no direction, it should make sense that the output is directionless.

But on more subtle levels, whatever subtle goals that we have and hold in the workplace will be reflected back by the agents.

If you're trying to optimise costs, and increase profits as your north star. Having layoffs and unsustainable practices is a logical result, when you haven't balanced this with any incentives to abide by human values.
